A first class resort which I wish I had booked for more than one day. There are ground and second floor rooms in each building with the upper rooms accessed by stairs. Each room has a very modern bathroom and a outside patio with a view of the grounds and a bit of the lake. Used room service and it was delivered at promised time for a modest fee. Bed was comfortable and the walking paths by the lake offer beautiful views.

Our room with a direct and beautiful lakeside view was very comfortable and quiet. Dinner in the restaurant was fine, too, but breakfast service needs improvement: replenishing the eggs took at least 15 minutes, and one of the servers did not speak English sufficiently and gave incorrect information about the buffet service.

Beautiful hotel resort. We had a suite that was just perfect! The layout and views were amazing and it felt very spacious. There’s a restaurant available. The coffee breakfast was delicious. It is an older resort but very well maintained. We didn’t stay very long but there is a sauna available. The lake is just a quick walk out from any of the rooms and restaurants. I’m definitely planning to return to this location and the resort. Thank you!

We stayed one night in a superior apartment. We were very happy with our accommodation choice. The apartment was one of the renovated ones. It was roomy and had a view onto the lake and really convenient parking right outside. The dining at the hotel was okay, although much better options in the town of Wanaka, about 20 minutes walk away.

Great place to stay. Staff was helpful and friendly, the location is outstanding and so is the property. Green grass from the property leading up to the lake where I took a swim. Beautiful landscaping, relaxing and calm. It’s an easy walk to the town center yet away from its hustle and bustle. I walked the trail along the lake, it was delightful. I’ll definitely come back.

Hojo review

We will not stay there again. We werextod when we arrived that the dining room was fully booked both evenings wexwere there. No hint of this before although I talked with front desk a couple days before we arrived. Food service even for drinks severely messed up. Bar munchies were put in front of us with pizza uncut, drinks never arriving. Just a mess all around. Not what one should have to suffer when oaying $550NZ a day. Very disappointing experience for us as they just didnt care. We're 7500 miles from home and Valentines ruined along with 2 days of our stay in NZ

Ok for accommodation but eat elsewhere

Booked a Premier Suite for a one night stay. It was spacious, well equipped, had a comfortable bed and a very useful washer/dryer. Was hoping for a decent view of the lake, but we just had a glimpse as the room was facing towards the town and any view was obscured by trees. The biggest disappointment was dinner and breakfast. Our main dishes for dinner was unbelievably salty. Breakfast was very below par for what is claimed to be a luxury hotel.
