YHA Wanaka, hotel in Wanaka

Featuring stunning views out to Lake Wanaka and the mountains, YHA Wanaka offers relaxed and welcoming hostel accommodations.

Good solid hostel in central location. The ongoing works meant that it probably had slightly less of welcoming feel but will be a very solid place when done. I stayed for 2 nights and would recommend the place.

    The lake frontage with stunning views of the mountains and lake and choices of eateries catering for vegetarians Good parking but roadworks made it difficult at times to get around Would recommend the Big Fig for vegetarians and Charlie Brown for great crepes

    We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.

    We love Wanaka. And this location was perfect for us to stay in a quiet place all to ourselves while we were in the town. It was very easy to check-in (John met us when we arrived on the property to hand over the keys and show us around the place) and there was ample parking and space for us. The property was bigger than anticipated. It is also just a quick drive from downtown Wanaka so it was very easy for us to drive into town and then off to hikes in the morning. Beautiful place, lovely stay.

    Hosts Noelene and Bill were very friendly and very helpful. The apartment is well equipped right down to potato chips, nuts and the free breakfast was amazing, using fresh home grown vegetables. On arrival we received a chilled wine. The views from this beautiful apartment are amazing, high up on the hilltop overlooking Lake Wanaka. This is value for money. Would highly recommend. Once again, thank you Noelene and Bill for your amazing hospitality.

    The Hawea hotel surprised us in terms of the view from the room. It's a quaint little hotel in a sleepy town with gorgeous view that cannot be described in words or captured on a camera. It overlooks the Hawea lake with a mountain backdrop. The restaurant is also pretty amazing with good food options and a view that makes eating there a pleasure in itself. Will highly recommended it.

    This was an outstanding apartment. It was enormous, clean and well appointed. The outside patio was huge with a dining table for 6 and 2 lounge chairs. The views were spectacular of the lake and mountains. The location was right in town so it was easy to walk to everything. We stayed in 11 hotels during our trip and this was one of our favorites by far.

    This was a SPECTACULAR home away from home, close to town with magnificent views of the lake and snow capped mountains. It felt like a home not a hotel, and we were so comfortable for our stay in Wanaka. The beds were comfy, it was warm and had everything we needed.

    The standard of this hotel was much higher than we expected. The room was immaculate, well furnished and spacious. There was plenty of parking and only a 5 minutes drive from the lake front and the famous tree. The guy in reception was friendly and helpful.

    The rural setting was beautiful. Waking up to SILENCE was FABULOUS !! Unlike staying in a motel or hotel .... there was no-one else to make noise or interrupt your stay .... THAT, made it all wonderful. We would stay again and recommend it to family and friends.

    Hotel is located just a short walk down to the lake. Across the road is where the food trucks are, which is actually a great alternative for an evening meal. Room itself is clean and warm, if a little small.
