"My fiancé and I only stayed one night but I honestly wish we stayed longer. Such a cool dome experience! Very modern, incredibly well designed, and furnished. Was super warm due to the built in heating and stunning fireplace. Loved it! Highly recommend! "
"Bridget, the motel manager, was lovely—she called ahead to check our arrival time and made sure everything was perfect with the room. The place has been nicely renovated. We drove, so we’re not sure about nearby facilities, but Wanaka is absolutely beautiful.

"Nice place but charge for every little thing.
$10 to rent a kitchen package (plates, pots etc.). How bout $$10 refundable deposit. ( A surprise for travelers blowing through…. Where every other stop all was provided).
Cabin was nice but no towels. Showers were $1 increasing to $2.
Won’t come back here. "
"The chalets are so cute and comfortable, and they had the heater running before I checked in so I could be toasty and warm in winter. It's a little rustic but charming and has a view of beautiful stars at night "
