Great location and service.
Fantastic location! Clean, comfortable, friendly staff.
The all-wood building creaks a lot, so be prepared for a few bumps in the night!

Although moderately clean, the room was quite run down. The drapes were falling off the rod and the sofa appeared worn and dirty. It's right next to a busy road so the sound of traffic could keep one up all night. The bed was comfortable and the location is convenient.

Friendly and excellent location. Condition and decor dated but that is outweighed by great location and friendly staff. This was my 3rd stay at this motel.

Aspiring lodge was ideal for a one night stop off. The motel was very tired looking and could do with modernising.

Great location.
Moderately priced room with basic amenities and a great location - just a block or two from the lakefront park, restaurants, and shops. Nothing fancy and a bit dated, but just what we wanted for our night in Wanaka. Nice to have a kitchenette.
