Everything, it is perfectly comfortable with perfect privacy. I rates this place 10 points after staying in NZ for 12 days, this is the best! I rate it 10 because I can’t give 100! The owner is so nice! If I am going to migrate to NZ, I want to be his neighbor.

I loved this stay! I would recommend this lodge to everyone. Good atmosphere, good heating facilities, super clean kitchen and bathroom.. The most I loved about this lodge was a spa!! We soaked in the tub and it healed our body. And we could use new towels too. The owner took care of guests well. We felt safe in the lodge.

We loved everything about Archway Motel. Mark, the host, provided a lot of useful information about Wanaka. The room and kitchen itself were well equipped, clean, and comfortable for our family of 4 adults. The toilet was spacious, and the location was excellent. Plus, the hot tub was really comforting after a sunrise hike at Isthmus. The motel is also just a short 10-minute walk to town centre. Will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Wanaka and will definitely come back if we have the chance.
