Clean and modern place to stay in Wanaka. The unit had everything we needed and more. There were thoughtful touches like robes, slippers, fresh milk for coffee and more. The owner was very nice and provided us with recommendations for things to do. I wish we had planned to stay here longer.

Loved this property - the owners were so kind and welcoming. They are a machine! Pretty sure it’s just the 2 of them turning over rooms and doing everything! The place is so sparkling clean, kitchen is well stocked with equipment and there’s a lovely garden area to hang out in. The washing machine was huge and we managed to wash all of our clothes in one go for $4 and hang it all outside to dry (they have pegs). We stayed for 4 nights and were sad to say goodbye! The location is a bit out of town but just 15minutes and we enjoyed the walk! Plenty of parking for cars and they even had a hot tub (we just didn’t have time to use it).

We were in Wanaka to hike French Ridge.

We were in Wanaka to hike French Ridge. Unfortunately, the snow line was too low and deep, so we made the call to turn back. It was a 30km day, but we loved being in Mt Aspiring National Park. The following day we hiked Mt Isthmus, a definite leg workout but the views made it worthwhile. Some of our party then took a dip in Lake Wanaka to ease the muscles! There are plenty of food options and bars too within easy reach to suit all pockets. Such a fabulous part of the country.

Wanaka is a great little town.

Wanaka is a great little town. Primarily a stepping stone to the ski resorts. However we did not go the the resorts. We did do a day trip to Blue Pools and the nearby waterfalls (Thunder falls). the drive was scenic and the pools were well worth having a look at. Thunderfalls is certainly a photo spot as well. We circled back to wanaka and had a look at the Wanaka tree. Its a great picture just prior to sunset as the branches of the tree have and orangy color to them.

Wanaka is a beautiful place, the magnificent scenery , ease to get around and the variety of food options makes it a place to meet a variety of experiences. Cycling along the tracks looked like a exciting option for getting around. Puzzling World was a great family outing and is worth a visit. The illusion rooms are fun and the maze was a great fun challenge.

Wanaka is stunning.

Wanaka is stunning. We were there in Autumn and with the leaves changing colour it made for amazing photos. A visit to the Lake Wanaka for the world most photograph tree is a must. Puzzle World is fun and worth the visit. The Wanaka Lavender farm was beautiful and the farm animals is a plus.

This was a great stay, easy to find, very well presented. The house is all to yourself and the bedrooms are very spacious and the double bathroom is a huge win for any families. 5 minute drive into town and various lake entrances. Facilities were great, comfortable furniture and feels like a home more than a hotel / accommodation.

The view was very nice. We could see the Wanaka lake from the room's balcony. The hotel seems to have all the facilities you need. We visited in February so it was a bit warm so the hotel provided us a fan which helped us at night. The bathroom had a heater which was nice for the cold morning.
