Had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Room was bigger than most we've stayed in NZ. Wish our stay could have been longer. Mark at the front desk is so helpful! Hot tubs up in the trees above the motel are a nice touch (private and reserve ahead).
Would definitely stay again!
Staff very friendly easy to get to location and able to walk into town

Amazing service from Mark, provided us with grate information for walks/food around the area, lodge was immaculate and very homely, would recommend to anyone.
Host is very friendly and can provide a lot of information (plan accordingly for check-in). Room was very spacious. Liked having a kitchen space to use. Bathroom and hot tub were nice. Parking with the construction was a little awkward but was fine for our one night stay.
Great place with very nice kitchen. Also very comfortable bed and nice bath. My daughter likes the trampoline on the premise. The owners are very nice!
Very nice accommodation walkable to the Centre of Wānaka. Definitely take advantage of the property’s hot tubs, they were very relaxing following a long hike.
A nice room for an overnight stay. Bed was comfortable, room was large, and overall clean. The hot tub was a nice touch - make sure you call to reserve the tub. The “porch” is simply some chairs on the walkway in front of the room by where the cars park - not a private area. Easy walk to the lake and beautiful walking path around the lake. Lots of shopping and food options nearby.
Good location walkable to centre of town.
Staff in reception were excellent and helpful.
Coffee, soaps etc were of top quality.
Units are a little small for a family of 4 in regards to storing luggage but you can make it work.

Mark and Jacqui are two of the most friendly hosts I’ve ever had. Their hospitality and kindness has had a tremendously positive impact on my stay in Wanaka. I highly recommend Archway
Lovely property situated just above the Main Street. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Management and staff go above and beyond for service and friendliness.
