Wow this property was amazing in a stunning mountain setting and spread out which makes all the difference. We had great food int he restaurant and the cafe down by the pool. Had many soaks in the pools. It was about 20 minutes walk to Wanaka town centre (picturesque though so not complaining!). We also utilised their free shuttle service... more

We loved the hot tubs and pools which were great after a days skiing and the big comfortable king size bed with electric blanket. However we were disappointed with a number of things. The room and bathroom were very small and lacked facilities and comforts expected in a 'Superior' room, we wondered what a Standard room would be like. We... more

My husband, 2 children (12 & 9 yrs.), & I stayed one night on 25 March at the Oakridge Resort in Lake Wanaka in a one bedroom unit with king-sized bed and a pull-out couch. The overall facilities were nice and the hotel is only about 3 yrs. old. Our kids really enjoyed their two heated pools which were the... more

You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. Check in time is 2pm but only having had a short journey I arrived at 1.45pm. I was allowed to complete the registration formalities but was told that I would have to come back at 2pm to get my room key - how petty and I have never experienced... more

We stayed in the Oakridge Resort at Lake Wanaka during a 3 week trip of the South Island with a family of four (2 adults & 2 kids) plus the grandparents. We were excited about staying here and were expecting ultimate luxury as this was by far the most expensive place we would be staying in during our trip. We... more

After reading some reviews, I was a little apprehensive, especially in relation to the room right next to the kitchen. I thought surely they wouldn't put a couple on their honeymoon in the room right next to the kitchen... but they did!!! It wasn't even a busy time, about 3pm, however we could hear the clanging of dishes as loudly... more

This hotel is not close to town or the lake. You will need a car and use it. I love the Wanaka area and will likely return. I would not consider this particular hotel. The hotel is adding many more rooms. When we arrived the area was VERY dusty from construction going on. The assigned room was near the construction... more

A mile or so out of town the hotel looks over the lake and mountains. We had great room with views which was spacious and comfortable and had a balcony. The hotel restaurant is a good one and there are pool and spa facilities. The whole place was designed to make the best of the location with restaurant and pool... more

Spent a wonderful 4 nights in the one-bedroom apartment, and had an absolutely brilliant time. The apt was spacious and very comfortable, while the king bed was heaven on earth! Found the kitchenette very handy, and loved the views over the southern alps. Best part, however, would have to be the hot pools (great after a hike up the Rob... more
