Guest reviews Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka

by Mike S Norwich, United Kingdom

Good Accommodation bypass the Restaurant

We had a two bedroom suite for a one night stopover, the accommodation was big, clean and adequate and being on the groundfloor gave us a porch and access to the lawns. It also had a good kitchen area as well as washing machine and dryer. The pool area was good and was nice and warm making the combination of accommodation and pool good for families. What was a big let down was the restaurant. We had dinner and both ordered steak which was tough as old boots and was very poor value for money. Similarly the breakfast was very poor for the price. We would stay again but would go for room only and sort our own breakfast and eat out for dinner.

This is not a resort

This is not a resort. It is on top of a hill, but doesn't have a view. It is a 20 minute walk to town as there is no shuttle even though the web site claims there is one. Very big hill to walk back up to return from town, or pay $12 for a cab. The gardens are ordinary. The 'hot tubs' have jets, but you can not turn them on. So is basically a warm bath that you share with strangers. Most of the hot tubs are either empty or out of order. No air conditioning or fans, very hot in summer. Free wi fi not working when we were there either. Would not recommend.

Really great facilities.

My son and I visited here for three nights. The room was a bit tired but more than adequate. It had good cooking facilities and it was great to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The pools were amazing - I see that a previous guest has said there was no signage about the depth of the pools or absence of a lifeguard. I found signage on all of these things very clear and easy to find. We found the food and drinks around the pool a bit pricey but it is not compulsory to drink or eat from the hotel so that was ok. I found that the best price was obtained from the owners website rather than Trivago or other sites. Service was friendly and helpful. Nice view from the unit - also nice and quiet.

Big , nice and clean room

Fully enjoyed my stay in Wanaka at the Oakridge. The room is nice - and also the bathroom. Had a good night's sleep. Dinner at the restaurant is absolutely worth the money. There are also laundry facilities. The

Wonderful stay

What a great experience! Clean and comfortable, cozy room that had everything including a full kitchenette, jacuzzi tub, even its own washer and dryer with detergent included. Plenty of space, felt like home away from home. Would definitely stay here again!
