Wonderful location, it had everything we needed. A very quiet and safe place! Everything was spotlessly clean. It even had a Nespresso coffee machine with Nespresso capsule. Great stay and sleep. We would stay here again at any time and highly recommend the accommodation.

One of the best equipped accommodations I’ve ever booked. We had no trouble cooking a nice meal for Christmas there. You can easily do barbecue in the front yard area which was also pretty cool.

Archway Motels & Chalets

Wanaka is an amazing place to stay. I get the impression that most travellers use Wanaka as a stop off to the Glaciers like we did. If i was planning my trip again I would spend at least a few nights in Archway motel, Wanaka. The hosts Jacqui and Mark can not do enough for you, they really are the best hosts you could wish for. Mark went out of his way to help my wife and I reschedule our trip to the Glaciers following the road closure at Hass. I can not think him enough for his reassuring assistance. Add to the above, the chalets are extremely high-end, comfort, quality, home from home. My wife and I would stay here again and for longer if we get back to NZ. Heart felt thank you from Dave and Glen (Wales)

Comfy beds and super lovely staff. Apartment was quiet, nice and well equipped. There is a balcony outside main bedroom, smart tv in the lounge downstairs, wifi works in every room of the house (something we’d had difficulties with elsewhere), check in contact free, but upon checkout the staff was amazing and so friendly. We had a great stay. Would absolutely book again.
