    The room was exactly as promised in the photos; clean, cosy, and quaint. The lodge complex was huge and had lots of communal facilities. We enjoyed using the lounge with fireplace and outdoor hot tub. It had an all round charming aesthetic that felt like being invited into someones home (with plenty of privacy). Staff were excellent and showed us to our room when we arrived. The location was good and is pretty much in the centre of the town. Free parking as well. Highly recommended!

    Lovely motel. The staff covered the windscreen of our car each night with a towel so we were not iced up the next morning. So thoughtful.

    The lovely lady who checked me in on arrival, such a welcoming soul. So friendly, helpful -when talking about my ski trip,most motel owners I've come across do not even engage in conversation, just a quick run down.. but she was genuinely so lovely. Even at 6pm, Thank you, hope to stay again ❤️

    We really enjoyed our stay in Wanaka at Fairway Motel. Our apartment was very spacious and well organised. Perfect for our family with two young kids. The staff was friendly and very responsive. It is also a short ride from the center of Wanaka which makes it ideal to explore the area. We definitely recommend it.

    The room was very clean, well kept, new, and had everything we could’ve asked for and more. The owners are really nice and friendly, Mark offered to have us check out a little late upon hearing that my partner was running a high fever. We had an exceptional stay at Archway Motel & Chalet, 100% recommended.

    The bella vista are a chain motel so you get what it says on the "can!" Clean and comfortable.The purpose of our visit was to go Christmas shopping so the motel was perfectly placed in the centre of town with free parking. The relief managers Sue and Craig were very friendly and helpful.
