We loved our stay at Georges House and highly recommend

The stay was fantastic, perfect location in town but super quiet and the view from the house is amazing., We brought our dog with us and it is the best pet friendly rental with secure outdoor area. The house was superbly appointed and had absolutely everything we needed - the fire and plentiful supply of firewood was an absolute treat!

Lovely home in a five star location

This is perhaps one of the nicest holiday homes we have ever stayed in. Fantastic location, super clean and fully kitted out with everything you might need for a relaxing stay. Absolutely loved the view of the lake from the living area and the sunny & sheltered courtyard was a lovely spot for an afternoon drink. Lovely and responsible host - would love to stay again at some point. Mia & David

Great property in the centre of Wanaka

Loved our stay here. The property was clean, inviting and well set up with great views. Easy walk to lake and all the restaurant in Wanaka. Plenty of firewood for the fireplace ensured a cosy environment in winter. Kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. Overall, a great stay in Wanaka

Great location. Easy walk to lake, restaurants & shops. Lovely view. Quiet. Comfortable beds, plenty of linens. Very clean & well maintained. Though we don’t have a fur baby right now, I appreciate that the owners are pet-friendly. The place was so squeaky clean you’d never know!

We had to make last minute changes to our trip due to a cyclone on the north island. Nikki was quick to respond. The apartment is clean with a very well stocked kitchen. Location is perfect only a few minutes to the lake and super markets within walking distance.

Perfection

Bo”s batch is the cosiest place we have ever stayed. The fire place warms up the entire house perfectly, the beds are comfortable, the couches are huge and the place could not be cleaner. All the essentials are there with a drying room downstairs in the huge garage, ample fire wood, heaters throughout plus aircon but these were not really needed as the fire place does the whole house. The location is what really makes this place though, right in the heart of Wanaka. We could not have been more centrally located for our stay. Restaurants only steps away, small convenience stores and a short walk to the lake. We would not look for another rental in Wanaka…
