“I think this motel captures Wanaka's charm, with its proximity to the lake and town center. The self-catering apartments, complete with balconies and BBQ facilities, really appeal to longer stays, especially for families or groups exploring the nearby ski resorts. From what I gathered, it's a solid base for both relaxation and adventure.”
