This was a nice, fairly new studio motel room with comfortable beds and sitting chairs. We stayed for one night. It's on a busy highway but we did not hear highway noise. The staff was incredibly nice and responsive. This location does not have any views of Lake Wanaka but is close to the town and parks.

We had an excellent stay at West Meadows! The accommodations were extremely comfortable and all the extras were provided. Laundry facility was much appreciated at this stage of our travels. There’s even an iron & drying rack if needed. We enjoyed the quiet location just a short distance from town.

This motel is exceptional! The bedroom, living area, kitchenette, and bathroom were well appointed. Everything from the kitchen utensils to the complimentary bathrobes were new and top notch. If we had stayed more than one night, we would have used the nice laundry facilities on site. The staff were very helpful, prompt, and courteous. There was a bit of noise outside near bedtime, and I know the staff has a strong no noise policy, but it was not enough to contact them, but almost. Though this facility is a bit away from downtown, it is potentially walkable or bikable there and back. I would definitely choose this facility if in the area again.
