The room is quite small without any facilities. You must use the common rooms i.e. tv room, kitchen in different floor. Anyway, the location is OK . You can walk 5 minutes to the lake.

Minimal, functional space. Spare character but decent for one night. Besides, Wanaka is gorgeous so you won’t be inside much!
