Hotels Near Albert Town Bridge in Albert Town

We stayed here for two nights in December 2023. Our unit (three bedrooms) was simply huge. A family could live here. It has everything that you would ever need. The kitchen was well equipped, there was a washing machine and dryer for clothes etc. The hotel is located about a 3-minute drive from central Wanaka and a 20-minute walk along a nice walking track. The only reason for which I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the main living area got very hot in the afternoon (on a summer day, 20 degrees Celsius). There was no air conditioning, so the room was unbearably hot. The bedrooms that face the other side were much cooler. Then, the next morning, the bedrooms got extremely hot right from early morning and there was no way to cool them down, while the main living area was at a comfortable temperature. The unit could benefit from something to control the temperature. Other than that and maybe the fact that the TV had limited channels and reception cut out a bit, this is a very good place to stay.

This was a last minute decision to stop over at Wanaka. After a brief search, we found the Fairway Motel, called in and after a brief chat with the owner, we were settled in a very nice cosy unit. The unit has been brought right up to standard with a lovely new shower and bathroom. Some thought had been given to restocking the rooms well too and everything that we wanted was there in the unit. (unit 1 ) Great utensils for cooking too, appeared to be very new. A very comfortable Kingsize bed was a feature and after a solid drive, it was nice to relax and to get a good nights sleep. Outside, there was a small terrace which was nice and not a bad spot to put some washing out to dry out in the sun. I spoke to the owners, a young couple living there with their three children and they have been renovating the rooms as and when they could afford to. These were a solid young Kiwi Family, trying to get ahead and working their butts off to build their business. We wish them all the best as they deserve to do well. When we get back to Wanaka again, we will be staying at the Fairway Motel at Wanaka.

The place was nice enough - decent rooms, nice lounge area, hot tub (though it took a couple of hours to heat up past lukewarm), and the breakfast was tasty. But the owner snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at the end - we popped in to grab a cup of coffee a couple hours after checking out, and were rudely told ”you're like bad pennies, can't get rid of you” (not in a lighthearted way) and admonished ”you really shouldn't be here. Other guests are checking in. You need to leave as soon as possible.” I suppose it's fair to say that guests should not swing by after checking out, but there was no need for that level of rudeness to save 5 cents on a cup of coffee. A shame, left a bad taste in our mouth after an otherwise nice stay

Parking is very convenient, the clerk's attitude is very good, ten minutes drive to the town center, not far from the red dot of the network, the inside is very clean, there is no taste at all, it is very suitable for passing by.

In fact, it is a hotel, parking at the door, there is a big supermarket next to it. There are many kitchen utensils in the room. You can buy the materials yourself. The key is to be close to the lake. You can walk in a few minutes. The room is clean and the heating is warm. The sound insulation is a bit poor, compared to other motels, the price is very good, but the check-out time can not be delayed, the cleaning staff urged.

Really nice hostel with excellent, clean and spacious kitchen. Heaps of fridge space. Staff were lovely and helpful and I had a good time chatting at check in - they just set a friendly and open atmosphere. My room was great - had the private double with bathroom which was clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake - needs some sort of net curtain though as it felt very exposed with the curtains open as there is a main walkway right outside the window as well as the carpark Parking was easy and secure on site and it’s right by the lake and a quick walk into town - like 1-2 minutes. You’re right by the food trucks and supermarket so you can get a cheap good feed if you’re not in the mood to cook. Wifi needs serious improvement. Couldn’t get a connection in my room without standing in a particular spot and even then it was weak. Decided to try the lounge area but the connection was terrible there too so it’s definitely a hostel-wide issue. If you needed to work here then it would be pretty hard to do so.

Whilst this is called Wanaka lake view, we were very disappointed to find our room was tucked away at the back with two narrow windows looking out onto a hedge close to them. It was very dark in the room and actually tricky to even know what the weather was doing outside! It appears that it is only room at the motel that is unfortunate in its position. The others all have big windows and more spacious. It’s easy to book as we did thinking we were in one of the front facing apartments. Unclear on website. The accommodation it’s self was sufficient ( though a tiny bathroom sink to wash any kitchen things in ) Staff were friendly and helpful. Location of actual motel was perfect. But being so near the beautiful lake and yet stuck into a very dark room was very frustrating. No where to sit outside the room either. I’m sure it’s cheaper than the other rooms, but really many more motels with 2 bed rooms with a much more pleasant outlook. Wish I’d read the reviews about the studio room before hand as others warn of finding the same problem. Wanaka itself very beautiful and the whole area well worth. Visit.

A big motel, the environment is good, and there are children's entertainment facilities, children love it! There is a large bed and a bunk in the room, enough for us 2 big 2 small 4 people to sleep. Although the kitchen is small enough, you can make some food for yourself. When I checked in, there were 2 children, and I was charged an additional fee of $ 50, so the cost performance was not so high.
