I stayed here for four nights while attending the Warbirds over Wanaka airshow. The motel is 10 minute's walk outside the main centre so is fairly quiet sdespite being on the main road. I had a studio which gave me a double bed, shower, separate toilet and a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, 2 hotplates, toaster, kettle and electric frying pan.... More

We stayed at the Fairway Motel with a hiking group in February. Due to a death in the family we had to return to the states. Nothing was too much for Jeanette and her husband who helped us. They allowed us to check back into a room early. Gave us information on a travel agent in town. Gave us a... More

We booked to stay in Bayview Motel for 4 nights, but due to a mix up between Bayview and Hotelclub, we instead ended up here, which we were told was of similar standard to Bayview. Unfortunately it is nowhere near as good, but Wanaka was very busy, mostly booked out for the weekend and therefore we had little choice. We... More

We stayed for two nights in this Motel and we really enjoyed it! Their staff was really friendly and helpful, the rooms were simple but very clean and tidy. We would stay again! More

This was a comfortable motel, with good facilities including a swimming pool and washing facilities. The staff were very helpful. It was just near to the town centre and also close to puzzling world so a good location to explore these attractions. It was also near an unusal cinema where the seats are sofas and a car! More

Stopped in here on a whim to see if they had a 2 room unit. They did - it was huge - a palace, and a very good price. On a warm day the pool was appreciated by the family as well. This place was great. More

Thank you to the Fairway Motel for making my stay so easy! Especially to the lady who checked me in and had only just started working there. I was unable to check in at the normal time because of work but nothing was a problem for these people and they made it all work even on New Years Eve. This... More

During our 3 week tour of New Zealand this was the only motel that didn't meet/exceed our expectations. Wanaka was very busy due to the Agricultural Show and we witnessed staff being very casual and offhand with other people looking for rooms. Unit was basic with a tiny outdated kitchen. Glad only there for one night. More

Thank you for your review, appreciate it so much. Our apology if we did not meet your expectations but the issue would have been resolved if you had let us know. Our motels are 3.5 star, depending on the nightly rate and availability of rooms, they vary. We are a one-man reception at the front and cleaning staff at the... More

Great choice -- Really good sized rooms and good value. Friendly staff and the continental breakfast was a bonus. Would certainly use again. Just a short walk to town centre, with just enough time to take in the magnificent mountain ranges and the lake. The autumn colours were beautiful. More

Very friendly owner. Room quite dated but spotlessly clean. Has hotplate, utensils crockery etc. A little noisy as it is on the state highway. Water pressure in our shower was non existent. Took wife an aeon to wash her hair! About 1 hr from Queenstown or 4 hrs from franz josef. Suitable for a one night stop over. More
