Great lakefront view but high price room

We’ve stayed at motel for 2 nights. The room with lakefront views which are really great, everything is great except room rate is very high for us -nzd4130 per night without breakfast. I believe there are better hotel choices around lake wanaka.

The moorings was close to town and we could walk everywhere. The room was very nice, and the private outside area made it really lovely. The customer service was brilliant, Dan really went above and beyond.

Lake view Feb 2025

When booking the Moorings I prioritised the lake view over other options that may have been cheaper and/or more spacious. The lake and mountain view from the room and balcony was certainly worth any premium, despite the road in the foreground, although a small table on the balcony permitting outdoor meals would have enhanced the experience. The studio room was smaller than other hotel apartments we booked on our trip but was perfectly adequate and to a good standard (albeit not luxurious). The location is very central in Wanaka which is certainly an advantage.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Moorings is in a great location where you can walk to all the shops and restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable but smallish for four people. It was really nice to have private parking and the staff were very helpful and cheerful to deal with. I would recommend this place if you want to spend several days in Wanaka!

Loved this property, it was like home away from home in that all the essentials were there, clean, warm and comfortable and we were finally able to cook something to eat instead of eating out all the time.
