As a solo traveller, I thought this was a really good option for a place in Wanaka, one that afforded private rooms but large, tidy and well appointed common spaces. I'd stay here again.

Warm welcome from Altamont Lodge, rooms spotless and plenty of facilities available eg parking, large kitchen and washing machines. Room tip: if possible, avoid room 1, its a bit close to the double doors and bathroom making it a bit noisy but that depends on the other guests! E

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I couldn't fault this place. Spotlessly clean and uncluttered. Even when the lodge was full it never felt crowded because there is plenty of space in common areas, while still feeling cosy. Kitchen was large and functional. Never had to wait for bathrooms or shower. My room was upstairs where there is only 2 rooms, as opposed to off the main hallway where the majority of rooms are, so I can't comment on noise overnight from neighbouring rooms. The managers here are friendly and do a fantastic job of maintaining the lodge and grounds to a high standard.

Very beautiful lodge and very clean! Good for a short stay! But the wall of the room is very thin, and we had an annoying neighbor we’re talking until the midnight, so didn’t get a good sleep at that night.

This has to be the best “hostel” we have ever encountered. All areas were spotless. Large open eating and lounge areas. The kitchen was stocked with all dishes cookware and cutlery you could need. Separate refrigerator shelves for each room. Bathrooms with individual stalls. Friendly, welcoming staff. It was all good and well worth the price.
