It’s a good location, with amazing views of the mountains from the living area and balcony. About 25 minutes to walk into town, mostly along a trail, and some nice walks nearby.The apartment was really clean and nice and cosy with lots of afternoon sun.

Alpine Resort Wanaka – A THC Hotels and Resorts

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay, despite our 1st room and 1st night being difficult as we were placed in a room directly in front of tennis courts and later to find out a basketball court! Which was used a lot in the evening. Luckily we were able to be moved to another apartment which was MUCH nicer overall in terms of being in better shape and comfortable beds and also quiet."
