Archway Motels & Chalets

We had a very pleasant experience at Archway hotel. We had two rooms in the new part of the complex. They were very clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and the shower very good. The manager was very helpful as we had a small mixup with room selection however he fixed the problem quickly and was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome. I would recommend this motel as it is very central and just a short walk down to the lake front and the bars and restaurants. We loved our stay in Wanaka.

The rooms, especially the larger chalets are dated and in need of an upgrade. The service is good. Location is astounding. Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a strategically located & comfortable accommodation in Wanaka

Amazing place to stay in, a bit of a walk (uphill) from the town centre. Mark and Jacqui who manage the property are amazing, very hospitable and friendly. They also had a hot tub up in the hills, which is amazing, costs $15 per person. The apartment has all the right amenities - microwave, utensils, etc.

I had a wonderful stay there, will definitely go back if I visit the town again. Very nice and warm welcome hospitality. During the check-in proactively provide useful information for the guests. Parking just right in front of the unit, very convenient. Only a few mins drive to supermarket and the famous tree in town!Very clean and tidy of the unit, with well equipped lKitchen facilities. Like the shower with very hot water for winter. The hot spa at the top of the road near reception would be good to try when there is still day light, coz a bit too dark and cold at night unless having a few people going together chit chatting and watching stars? That could be a bit romantic too?

Wonderful stay. Lovely and friendly hosts. Excellent rooms and very close to the town center. The hot pools were an added bonus. They were affordable with one of the most beautiful sky views we have ever had and it was private! Definitely recommended.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, the owner and staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with anything we needed — they truly made us feel at home. The owner even took the time to recommend and explain must-visit spots around Wanaka, which was especially helpful since it was our first time there. Our room was excellent — clean, comfortable, and just a short walk from the town center. The hot pools were an added highlight — affordable, really nice, and the perfect way to relax while taking in the stunning surroundings. It was the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Wanaka. If we ever come back, we’ll definitely be staying here again without a doubt!

We stayed in one of the new studio rooms and would highly recommend! Everything in the room is very high quality and the heated tile is a nice touch. Mark (host) was very friendly and gave us some good info on the area. The cedar hot tubs are a nice touch, we will be back.

Perfect location, walking distance to the town. We walked to the cafe in the morning. Host lovely too, explained everything about the activities and surroundings. Hot tub at night was great! 😊
