Wanaka Alpine View Lodge

This place was so lovely that I ended up booking an extra night! The room was beautiful, and the view was amazing. Just a heads up, there are large bumblebees right outside the window, and with no fly screens, it’s hard to let fresh air in comfortably. Other than that, I highly recommend it!

Our recent stay at Alpine View Lodge in Wanaka was a mixed experience. The location, nestled on the edge of Wanaka, offered both convenience and tranquillity. The lodge sits on a nice property, surrounded by stunning mountain views.|Unfortunately, the fireplace in our cottage didn't work, which was disappointing. Whilst this may not be an issue during summer, it made for a cold stay during winter as the single air-conditioner took a long time to warm the cottage.|For the price, compared to other similar properties, we felt the furnishings were on the budget end, which whilst practical, was disappointing.|The Alpine View Lodge offers a peaceful retreat with a few drawbacks. If you're looking for a quiet escape in Wanaka, it's worth considering, but be prepared for some minor inconveniences.

This property was not what we expected and is not worth the price paid. After trying to contact the owner/reception multiple times via phone, message and visiting the reception at check-in, we made the difficult decision to stay else due the accomodation being poor and disappointing. The owner is not pleasant or understanding to deal with once we finally got a response from them (after booking somewhere else - 2.5 hours after check-in). Driving into the property, you first see a shed/storage area full of clutter (as per photo). Walking into the room (Cardrona split level studio), the first thing we saw was a rusty old air con sitting outside (as per photo). There was also green electrical tape covering a switch (as per photo). The shower head was held up with hair tie. We are deeply disappointed by this accomodation. We would not recommend it to anyone wishing for an ‘alphine view’ stay.

This little hideaway has everything you need to be comfy. The location and views are great. To be so close to Wanaka, but in a tranquil quiet spot is perfect. Check-in is simple, facilities are modern and nothing is cheaped out on. I'd stay here again and for even longer!

A little oasis in the bustling town of Wanaka, the lodge offers a serene escape with mountain views and cozy settings. The added bonus of a hot bath after a long walk made our stay even more enjoyable.

The place is very well equipped with everything from a coffee pod machine to a towel warmer in the bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable as well, which to me is the most important thing. Only a 5min drive in to the main area as well. Great value for money overall, would highly recommend.

We only had one night at the Alpine View Lodge. Would have loved to stay longer as Wanaka is a great place to visit. We had a very comfortable room and breakfast, round one large table, was excellent. Craig and Michelle are great hosts and we spent so long chatting over breakfast that we didn't get away until 10.00.

My husband and I were so excited to visit Wanaka on our honeymoon, and while this B&B is beautiful and located within a 5 minute drive to downtown Wanaka, we would not recommend visiting in the off season when the owners are not there. The cottages themselves are very nice, but the heat wasn't turned on when we arrived, our coffee was not refilled after we used it the first morning, and the breakfasts are not worth it. It is also a drive into town, which was expected, but next time we would likely stay closer within walking distance.
