Wanaka: hotel a 2 stelle

Big thumbs up to The Brownston in Wanaka; just a short walk from intercity bus stop, lake front, cafés and right next door to a big supermarket. It has a range of great rooms at reasonable prices plus spacious community rooms including a fantastic kitchen /dining area, tv lounge and a chill out room. The staff are all super friendly and helpful.

La decorazione della stanza è la migliore per andare in viaggio, moderna e conveniente, con cucina, posizione indesiderato, auto non è un problema, raccomandato

We recently stayed at the Wanaka Hotel, attracted by its central location which did not disappoint being so close to the lake and the centre of town. However, our overall experience was marred by several discomforts. The hotel shows its age with a rather run-down appearance and old which could definitely use some modern upgrades. A minor, yet notable inconvenience was the provision of single ply toilet paper, of which there wasn't enough. The quality of toilet paper says a lot about a place. The bathroom was compact, to say the least, and while the heated mirror would be a thoughtful touch in winter, it made the room unbearably warm in the spring sunshine. The lack of a powerful shower further dampened our experience. The absence of air conditioning was felt, especially during the sunny afternoon when our room turned into a sauna despite opening the windows and sliding door. Parking was another challenge. It’s a game of luck to find a spot at times due to the pub . This could be quite inconvenient especially if you’re carrying a fair bit of luggage. The combined effect of these issues unfortunately outweighed the benefits of the location. We have decided not to return to Wanaka Hotel for our future visits to the area.

Good Points. Comfortable bed, spacious room, good shower, great location, free parking if you are one of the first 9 cars in. Bad Points. The whole structure creaks all day and night and wakes you up regularly. We booked a kitchenette and found a one burner electric plate in the cupboard where the heat was useless. The baby refrigerator was so small we had to buy ice each day for our tiny portable cooler. The place is worn out, carpet needed a shampoo, base of the shower was not clean, furniture was dusty and balcony furniture filthy. Walls are thin and you can hear conversations next room. Fortunately we spent as little time as possible in the room during the lengthy stay. Certainly overpriced for what we received and maintenance is overdue.

Very accommodating and friendly host. We were on two motorcycles and he kindly let us have the front unit with hard standing parking. He pointed out places of interest and things to do in the area. The unit was clean and tidy with plenty of space. Comfortable bed, shower over the bath but great pressure.

I was bullied and harassed by the lady manager. I am writing this review at half past midnight after having somewhat recovered from the shock and horror of what I just went through. Reading other reviews, I now know others have had similar experiences with this particular person. I had perhaps the most rude, harassing behaviour at this holiday park by two individuals who apparently manage the place. The lady was just completely horrible in regard to how she spoke to me. The man was still somewhat better. This will be a long review as the owners and future guests of the Holiday Park need to know what a disgrace these people are to the otherwise awesome Kiwi Hospitality I have experienced everywhere in NZ. I am on a solo motorcycle trip and had reached the holiday park at half past ten in the night. I had phoned in advance about my late arrival and was told this wont be a problem and there would be an envelope for me at the reception. There was no mention of a lockbox on the phone. And the email (screenshot attached) simply mentions categorically a Blue Box which will contain the envelope. The said blue box was empty when I arrived. I was cold from the ride and very tired. So I parked the motorcycle inside the Holiday Park in a well lit area by the side of the road and started to look for my tent site. Suddenly I hear someone calling me from behind in a rather rude voice. It was this lady. Instead of asking me if I needed help as I was clearly lost, she rudely asks me, is this your motorcycle. I was in full riding gear, of course it was mine. I was still relieved that I had some help. But she was anything but. I told her my site was 266 and if she could point me to it. Instead of helping me, and despite having seen the email confirmation, she continued to rudely ask me to walk to the lockbox and grab the map. I asked her if there was a problem as she appeared annoyed. She asked me 'do you know what time it is?'. I said I did and that I had phoned in advance. To which she downright scolded me and said 'hey dont argue'. The man in the car was also saying soemthing but I could hear it properly as I still had my helmet on because of the cold. At this point I was fully in shock and gave up and walked to the lockbox to grab the map. When I returned the rude lady was gone. The man said that if anyone entered without a map, they would call the police on them as they would be tresspassing. And he is telling this to a person with a PREPAID BOOKING! It has taken me two hours to actually process this rude incident. I have a booking for two nights but I will be leaving here as early in the morning as possible because my entire holiday experience has been ruined by the rude lady who apparently is the manager. If the owners of the Holiday Park are reading this, please have a chat to your park managers as they are the furthest thing from service orientated. A simple conversation was all that was required instead of taking the persona of a bully

Siamo rimasti qui solo per una notte dopo aver lasciato l'orribile alloggio di Haast che ci avevano prenotato. È stato un piacere trovare una grande suite completa con salotto, zona da pranzo, cucina e lavatrice e asciugatrice per bucato, ben attaccato nel bagno, anche se le nostre camere erano molto tranquille. Ci sono molte strutture sul sito, ma non abbiamo usato nessuna di esse, quindi non possiamo commentare.

Ottimo ostello con una cucina eccellente, pulita e spaziosa. Una gran quantità di spazio frigorifero. Il personale era carino e utile e io ho avuto un buon tempo di chattare al check-in - si sono appena messo un'atmosfera amichevole e aperta. La mia camera era grande - aveva il doppio privato con bagno che era pulito e confortevole con una vista grande sul lago - ha bisogno di una sorta di cortina netta, anche se, come si sentiva molto esposto con le cortine aperte, c'è una strada principale fuori dalla window as well as the carpark Parking was easy and secure on site and it’s right by the lake and a quick walk into town - like 1-2 minutes. You’re right by the food trucks and supermarket so you can get a cheap good feed if you’re not in the mood to cook. Wifi ha bisogno di un miglioramento serio. Non potevo trovare una connessione nella mia stanza senza stare in un particolare punto e anche allora era debole. Deciso di provare la zona del salone ma la connessione era terribile anche lì, quindi è sicuramente una questione a livello ostello. Se dovessi lavorare qui, sarebbe piuttosto difficile farlo.

L'apparecchiatura della stanza è ben completa.Anche se c'è un progetto vicino, ma non influenza l'ambiente circostante è molto tranquillo, il proprietario è molto utile, e introduce attivamente le attività di lavanderia e ristorante circostanti.Ci sono lavastoviglie e lavastoviglie pagate, molto conveniente.Il letto è caldo e la stanza è calda.Il senso generale è molto comodo. Più di dieci minuti a piedi al centro della città.
