I've forgot to take my charger when I left the motel. I called the motel officer two weeks later, but they still remember me and tell me I left my charger there. They send the charger back to my address the following day. Really appreciate for their excellent service! and the room is nice and quite, worth to go!!

Room was clean, facilities ok, but dated and could do with an update. Our friends, however had a family room which was much more modern and up-to-date. Bed comfortable and room quiet, would definitely recommend for a short stay.

We stayed here three nights over Easter. Rob was very friendly and able to accommodate us at the last minute, which was much appreciated, but the room was in definite need of a refresh and some improved lighting- it was dark even on sunny days. Also being near the road it was noisy at nights- would probably be fine if... More

We made a reservation at this motel only the night before and on arrival we knew we had been a bit lucky. This is an excellent place to stay, probably the best motel accommodation we had during our three weeks in New Zealand. Our room was literally three or four times larger than the cramped holiday park unit we had... More

Rob and Eve have recently taken over this motel and they were very helpful to us. Slight problem with wifi but Rob sorted it out. Good knowledge of local attractions which was very helpful. Room spacious,comfortable and spotlessly clean.Swimming pool was just right. Thanks Rob for the lend of your golf clubs. Great place to stay.

We have stayed here a number of times over the past few years and for us, it is the best motel in Wanaka (we have stayed at others...............but can't beat Fairway). We usually stay in the same unit each time and it is always nice and clean. Nothing is a problem to the new owners (nor the previous ones) and... More

Rob and Eve, new to this motel, gave us a very warm and helpful welcome after sorting out a room booking mishap caused in the change of ownership.

The Fairway motel was a very pleasant place to stay, we had a one roomed unit, it was spacious with a large bathroom. Very clean and tidy. Being in the middle of the summer being able to have the ranch slider opened and the seats out the cooler side were most welcome.
