Top Wānaka Hotel Reviews

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka

10/10 Excellent
"We had an emergency exit from Franz Josef due to potential slips coming into Wanaka - we managed to get a room here at last minute - we managed to order dinner and go drop bags off and dinner was ready when we got back. Staff, very obliging. Unfortunately we didn’t get any toiletries except a small bar of soap so had to make do for our showers. The room was really nice - though there was lot of neighbour noise - but the facilities were great - lots of parking and on the road that leads to Cardrona"
