Lovely property and hosts. The space worked very well for us and we had zero issues. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We’d definitely stay here again.
A lovely warm and well equipped property in a beautiful location. Had everything we could possibly need, plenty of room and great views.

Thanks Kerri for your review and great you enjoyed your stay and the community pool ,not many people comment on the pool and sometimes we wonder if its worth the $1200 pa.
Feel free to visit again possibly in the winter if you are a skier or boarder as wanaka has quite a different vibe in the winter .
Have a good rest of the year and we will be down there ourselves for some autumn colours and to restain the timber at the front !!!!!
Cheers

We really enjoyed our stay here- it was clean, well equipped, and the perfectly situated in Wanaka. We stayed longer in Queenstown but wished that we had spent the majority of time here. Great area, amazing property!

We have just had the most amazing stay at this house. We had a party of 10 and the kitchen provided great kitchenware for having bbqs and meals at the house. Really quiet location too
Always nice to go back to accommodation that we've used before and there were no disappointments. The house has a great layout, facilitites, and clean.
The property was modern, clean, comfortable, spacious, and well located. Would definitely stay there again. On top of that, Wānaka turned on a week of incredible weather. Couldn't have asked for more.

We had the privilege to rent this beautifully presented home whilst we were in Wanaka for my son's wedding. It is very well appointed with high end appliances, crockery and kitchenware, the beds and leather lounges were extremely comfy, plenty of room for all, the hosts have thought of everything. Highly recommend this property and wish we could have stayed longer.
Our family of 4 adults were joined by another family of 4 adults for a skiing holiday. We were impressed with the location and layout of the house. It’s a beautiful house that felt like a home, and had everything and more that we needed. We all had a wonderful time, thank you so much
We had a very comfortable stay at this lovely batch, just on the edge of Wanaka. It was spacious but cosy and modern and comfortable with everything you'd need. We were pre-warned that there mightn't be enough hot water for 11 of us but had no issues by splitting showers. Lovely place, lovely, attentive hosts - would stay again!
We absolutely love this holiday house. It was so well equipped, with all details thought of. Perfect for skiing in cardrona, the house had dryers for ski gloves and was lovely and warm. The views very amazing. Quality linen throughout, stocked pantry and comfortable beds. The hosts were attentive and we needed for nothing. We would happily return in the future.
The house worked extremely well for our group. We were two families with 11 and 9 year old girls. There was enough space for us to come back to the house after a day on the mountain to spread out and relax. the house was well resourced and everything that we needed was available. The community spa pool was a nice surprise and well used by our group.
House was brilliant, well equipped with everything you need. Very comfortable beds & nice linens, comfy couches & good sized dining table for our group of 8, small improvement would be to supply pool towels for use at spa/pool/gym complex and it would have been good to know about the electric hot water before booking as we had 4 teenage girls & six females out of 8 of us. In saying that as long as we were careful with the hot water we didnt run out but for large grouos gas hot water would also be an improvement. The boot & glove dryer was excellent a fir our skiing days. Overall fantastic property and would stay again.
Fantastic house and location. Home was fully equipped to cater for large groups, ours was 12 (8 adults/4 kids) and having a fully equipped kitchen was the best thing. The house was lovely and clean on arrival and house was very spacious for the 12 of us. Extra things available, cleaning, panty items etc were fantastic to find, even we left behind what we didnt want to carry back with us. thanks so much for a wonderful experience, we will certainly stay again if we return to Wanaka.
