Very nice old school cabin with a fire place, heaters in every room and a great view of the lake. It's not for someone who is looking for a modern style home. But for people who appreciate traditional cosiness it's a nice place to stay. It has everything you need. I would book it again.

Great stay!

We had an absolutely lovely stay here in Wanaka! The location was ideal, and the accommodation perfect for our group of friends - with separate rooms, and a spa (albeit a service to pay for separately). There were some quirks - like the bucket for the spa-pool was pretty cracked, but hard to complain when the price was so reasonable! We had a great stay and would highly highly recommend it to others.

Lovely old school batch! Great location!

We were 4 adults and 3 kids and the house was very spacious. From the listing, I was under the impression that only one room is in the sleepout but the bunk room is also there, perhaps can be clearer in the Amazing view from the deck!

Wanaka Autumn getaway

An old tired but much loved holiday home absolutely suited to our group of 70+ ages. Plenty of parking space also for a campervan. Within 20 minutes of coffee shops in town! Great old showers and comfy beds. The huge living area suited us well. We biked and walked between rain storms. Thankyou Belinda our host for letting us stay.

Relaxing environment

We knew it was rustic from the photos and others comments but for us it was very relaxing and comfortable. Everything worked and small things that you wouldn’t take on holiday were there and available for use. Plenty of space and well set up.

Host profile image

2 families have owned this bach since the 70's. Its a very special place for us all with amazing memories of jet boating, skiing, camping in the Wanaka area. The bach has been improved over the years i.e heat pump new deck but it is still a simple bach, we only put a TV in a few years ago, and we now have internet.
