Manuka Crescent Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Great little place, a bit of a walk from the main hub of Wanaka, but felt quiet and peaceful. The place was spacious and clean, with great scenery around. Had a nice little patio and green space. Kitchen was adequate and had enough to cook simple meals. We had a great stay!"
