Keep your expectations realistic and you won’t be disappointed. It’s an older property and in a state of disrepair. It could definitely benefit from a major renovation. Kitchen is a bit primitive, bathroom ceiling could use some work. However, you can’t beat the location and the view. Comfortable bed and great staff. I’d stay here again despite the rustic qualities.

Quick stay in QT

just one night stay. location is great. right in front of the lake wakatipu in QT. A small kitchenette comes handy to cook or warm up food. Water pressure is good. We stayed on the ground floor, so the window in the bathroom is not suitable to be open as motel's workers walk pass through the hallway frequently. No privacy.

I would like to give a huge thanks to the team at this motel. This was a last minute booking, and when I arrived, they told me that they had tried to contact me to advise that they had no rooms. While waiting outside, in the cold, they came and found me to advise that they had a sister site down the road, that they would find a room for me. Turned out to be much bigger and right in the middle of town. Thank you to the team at Lakeside Motel and Lofts Apartments. You saved me.

Won't Stay Here Again

Positives - good view of the lake and walking distance to town. Negatives - electric blankets didn’t work, room only had a oil column heater which was not adequate, kitchen was very old but everything did work, replacement towels/face cloth etc were just left inside the door not folded up nicely, I had an adjoining room and could clearly hear the people next door being intimate, loud enough that it woke me up. Worse part is the photos didn’t represent my room.

Incredible view at a great price. Balcony was a bonus and eoukd be great in warmer weather. The bathroom was large and immaculatly clean. The kitchen was a bit tired but perfectly functional and there are so many options to eat out or grab a takeaway within easy walking distance it realky wasnt a problem. Perfect location for getting to all the attractions in town. Overall if youre on a budget and want yo spend your money on going places and dling things but would like a nice view and a comfy bed yo return too with no frills then this is the place for you. Late check in by lockbox was easy too. Staff were happy to accommodate this.
