Guest Testimonials
While we are safely back home now, Maureen & I wish to say a big personal thank you for making our Wanaka stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Your help with information, use of the barbeque, laundry etc was much appreciated. Moreover, you were never fazed by our visits to reception, which brought you scurrying from your retreat to answer our requests.

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for a wonderful if somehwat short stay at your motel.
Too bad we couldn't spare more time in Wanaka... but thanks again for your very warm hospitality - u really made us feel welcome (seeing the Malaysian flag flying at the front was truly heart warming)
We will be more than happy to recommend your motel to our friends shld they make a trip to Wanaka.
(I hope in the future, more NZealanders will demonstrate the same kind of warmth and hospitality to outsiders, esp Asian tourists)
Thanks and warmest regards, Kim & family.

What a great place to stay very comfortable great facilities for cooking and the kids had their own room as they upgraded us from the one I had booked."
"The room is nice and clean, lake just walking distance, hotel it''s easy to found just locate on the main road, the water pressure for the shower was not so good, besides that everything is perfect."

"Dear Katherine and Ken,
Thanks for your email, and we did enjoy our stay. This was our 6th trip to NZ in 14 years, and although we had visited Wanaka on each occasion, we had not actually stayed in the town before. If we come again we will be in touch and will certainly pass on your address to others.
Kind regards,
The Meridews"

Yes thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay this year, as we did last year. I would like to thank you so much for rescuing my computer, and for the trouble you went to in packing and sending it back home to Upper Hutt - all up and running again today! We look forward to another visit down South in a year or two.
Sincerely Rosemary Wright"

"Hi Kathryn and Ken
I had a great time at your motel, thank you! It was lovely and quiet around the back in Unit 18, which was a pleasant surprise, given how busy the town was this weekend. I'm impressed you recalled I was there for the Rippon sculpture event - nice to know you take note of these personal details. I will certainly recommend you to others. Thanks for contributing to a relaxing weekend.
Warm regards
Claire "

Many thanks for your hospitality, the ample space your appartment provided and the close proximity to town. The trip was a success in that I have finally persuaded my very patriotic family that there is more to see outside of the UK and mainland europe and they are surprsingly keen to return to NZ for a longer duration in order to explore both islands!"
"Thanks for the mail. We had a wonderful stay at your place and I have been telling my friends about it. I will definitely mention and recommand your place to all my friends.
Cheers, Rajam"
