Hotels Near Wanaka Willows, Naturally Grown Vegetables For The Community. in Albert Town

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

We were in Wanaka for two nights just after Christmas, so accommodation was short to come by. Great value for money and so close to the centre for access to restaurants & shops. Room was spacious with ground floor and access to small patio area. Kitchen had everything we needed & shower was great. Would definitely stay again

There is nothing wrong with the motel, but it is too expensive. The price is very low, bitkapo and Queenstown are expensive. What is this ghost? Everything else is in the middle of the law without surprises or bad. So it is too expensive to accept.

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.

'West Meadows Motel' hardly inspires the imagination - until you get here that is... A superbly designed and built complex that is both architecturally appealing and very well appointed. My phone booking, and reception experience with Matt was both casually relaxed yet thoroughly professional, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Our 2 bedroom unit was really lovely - 2 identical and well proportioned bedrooms with clever light blinds and super comfy beds. Both tastefully done, and same with the lounge / dining area. Think modern contemporary with plush yet simple decor. Just perfect really. Sliding doors out to balcony, a user-friendly guest laundry and nicely designed car parking and gardens round out the overall impression that this place was designed and built with the guest experience in mind. For a 2 night stay I didn't expect to return after a long day hike on our first day to find the whole unit cleaned and beds tidied - this isn't 'usual' motel practice, yet it was here. Matt was also super helpful with local driving, hiking and 'insider' intel. Situated a km or two out of 'town', we worried about the walk in/out to forage for dinner, but that wasn't an issue once Matt told us about the excellent Stoaker Room 400m down the road, which was fabulous. Meat lovers rejoice! And if you didn't want to drive into Wanaka proper (only 2 mins drive or a 20-30 min walk) then they will happily drop you there and you can taxi home. A relatively new development, built in 2017, West Meadows both feels new, and yet well established at the same time. It is a superb place to stay, and all round one of my favourite motels in a 6 week tour of the country - and yes, I have stayed in many... Would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend highly enough. Top job guys, may thanks, you were spectacularly good.

We stayed here for just one night having left the dreadful accommodation in Haast that we were booked into. It was a lucky find as we had a large suite complete with lounge, dining area, kitchenette and washing machine & tumble drier neatly tucked into the bathroom. Although quite a big resort our rooms were quiet. There are plenty of facilities on site, but we didn't use any of them so cannot comment.

Very close to the lonely tree, the aunts received by the hotel are very humorous and welcoming. It’s not far from the downtown area, 35 minutes’ drive away, and you can drive there. There is a public parking lot by the lake, which is convenient for parking. I feel like staying for one night is too little.

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.
