Our room was beautiful, like a luxury hotel. In addition there was a fridge/freezer , microwave and induction burners. Conveniently located to restaurants, the lake and Haast Pass. Great affordable lodging!
Fabulous stay, spotlessly clean, every amenity we could need and Mark, at check in, was so helpful giving us lots of tips for visits, food, drinks, walks, definitely stay again if in Wanaka
Staff was helpful and directed us to local grocery stores. She showed us to our unit and indicated where to park. Room was clean and modern. Bed was very comfortable.
Loved the garden play area for the kids. Our room was very spacious, clean and the staff were so welcoming. We wished we were able to stay longer. We’ll certainly be back!
This property is very well cared for. The owners take pride in maintaining the property in excellent fashion.
The hot tub is wonderful and private because you book your appointment time.
The room is fresh and clean. Well appointed.
Motel conveniently located to downtown Wanaka. It's a short 5 minute walk to the lake so you can get to everything but still have peace and quiet in the evenings.
We loved this large, modern room with kitchenette, large bath and balcony. It was up the hill from town, so much quieter and still an easy walk to town center. AC worked well and hosts were really helpful. We will stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was super clean and comfortable but quite expensive
It’s ridiculous to have to pay for the hot tubs!
Especially for the cost of the room!!
After a great experience two years ago, we chose Archway for our return trip to Wanaka.
The manager was incredibly helpful and proactive, coordinating our check-in and providing a seamless self-check-in option for our late arrival. They also kindly let us store our bags after check-out, which gave us the freedom to explore the local scenery unencumbered.
With the property currently expanding, it’s clear that Archway remains a popular choice for many. We’ll definitely be back!
