YHA Wanaka, hotel in Wanaka

Featuring stunning views out to Lake Wanaka and the mountains, YHA Wanaka offers relaxed and welcoming hostel accommodations.

Good solid hostel in central location. The ongoing works meant that it probably had slightly less of welcoming feel but will be a very solid place when done. I stayed for 2 nights and would recommend the place.

    We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.

    Everything was perfect! Location couldn’t be better! A really cozy apartment with a fireplace for cold times and an A/C to fight the intense heat of summer. Excellent kitchen with everything one may need. Super good and modern shower. A deck with a wooden table and chairs with the lake view for meals outside. And of course a super friendly host! Definitely the best hotel among all those that we stayed in during out trip on the South Island!

    This apartment was wonderful! Spectacular views across the lake and mountains. There was so much space and the furnishings are to a high standard. It was great to have a garage to park the car. So nice to have a gas fire and plenty of heating to keep us warm. Jenny and the housekeeping team were really helpful and great to deal with. Very easy, short walk into Wanaka.

    We had a premium suite in a section of the hotel that had recently been refurbished. The quality of the decor and furnishings was very high and the lounge area had a beautiful view of the lake. The location was close to the lake and about a 20-25 minute walk to the centre of town. Reception staff were friendly and helpful with advice about restaurants and activities.

    Fantastic apartment with wonderful views of Lake Wanaka. It has everything that you may need including a small kitchen. Noelene and Bob are wonderful hosts and couldn’t have been more helpful and the breakfast that they provided out most hotels to shame. We are considering moving into their apartment permanently it was so good. we will be back.

    I pretty much never do reviews. I travel throughout NZ & Aus staying in Motels & Hotels. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding. Room was good & what a fantastic view. Also booked a spa at sunset which was amazing especially with the view of the mountain range. Highly recommend the place.

    This was a SPECTACULAR home away from home, close to town with magnificent views of the lake and snow capped mountains. It felt like a home not a hotel, and we were so comfortable for our stay in Wanaka. The beds were comfy, it was warm and had everything we needed.

    Self contained cottage was cute, compact, cosy and clean. Steve gave us a friendly welcome ably assisted by his canine companion, Beau. The friendly vibe was duplicated at the local hotel where we were greeted as if we were regulars.
