Surrounded by stunning mountains and three beautiful rivers this lovely home is private, peaceful and relaxing with a large fully fenced outdoor area and tranquil veranda looking out across the reserve.
Situated in old established Albert Town with more space and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka but only a 5 - 10 minute drive.

Comfortable beds and sofas, a great woodburner plus heatpump/air con make this a great house for both winter and summer.

Gas hot water, great showers and a full sized bath.

We absolutely loved our stay at this peaceful, family-friendly property near the Clutha River. The house had a great layout and a large fenced yard, perfect for pets and children. The garden was beautiful, and the log burner made evenings warm and cozy.The location was ideal, close to both Wānaka but still quiet and rural. Being right by the river was a highlight; we took the dinghy out several times and loved exploring. There’s a huge walking trail and dog park just outside the door. It’s also really close to some great rock climbing areas, which was a bonus!The kitchen was well equipped, the gas hot water endless, and the home had everything we needed for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway. We’d definitely stay again!

Superb!

Everything about this property was excellent - location, communication with Richelle, perfect for our wee dog with full fencing, house inside and out was just right. The little touch with the fresh rosemary on the windowsill in the kitchen just finished it off!

This is a very comfortable home in a great location in Albert Town near the river and walking trails. The house is well appointed with everything we needed, including apples from the trees in the lovely relaxing backyard. It’s a short drive to Wanaka and a short walk to the Pembroke Patisserie!

Fantastic Holiday

We had a great stay in Albert Town and Richelle was a pleasure to communicate with. The house had everything we needed and is nicely located down a quiet street close to the river. There are views out to the mountains from just about every window. The Fire and Heat Pump kept the place nice and cosy. Plenty of room for five of us to spread out and relax.
