We wished we could stay longer. It’s welcoming. We would love to own a house like that.

Rustic and made of wood and imported stones. It is up in the hill with a great view of the lake, mountains and town. Breakfast is great with home grown and made ingredients. Most of all, the owners were warm and friendly

Bill and Nolene were exceptional hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, even bringing our breakfast up on trays. The views were stunning of snow capped mountains. They treated us like family, not as guests. Everything you needed was in the apartment. Bill and Nolene gave us their local knowledge of the area. We really did not want to leave.!!!!!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Kauri House Apartment. After traveling through Christchurch, Dunedin, and Queenstown, this was by far our favorite place – and the biggest surprise of our trip. The apartment is on the second floor of a charming wooden chalet, with its own private entrance. The view from the top of the hill is simply breathtaking – overlooking Lake Wanaka and the town. It was incredibly peaceful at night, and the wooden interior gives the space such a warm, cozy feel. The radiators kept us perfectly warm. Noelene and Bill are exceptional hosts. Every morning, they brought us a delicious and generous breakfast right to the room. The yogurt with berries was especially memorable – so fresh and tasty. And the tomatoes – they grew them themselves, and they were the most flavorful tomatoes we’ve had in years (unlike the bland ones we had elsewhere). When Bill noticed how much I loved them, he gave me one as a gift on the day we left. Such a sweet gesture! Noelene and Bill are also wonderful to talk to. They shared the story of how they built this beautiful hilltop chalet, and gave us great local recommendations. We truly felt their warmth and passion. We left with such fond memories. Highly, highly recommend staying here – it’s pure magic. Thank you, Noelene and Bill!

We loved every minute.

The view and the house are so unique and beautiful. Everything is impeccably clean and thought out and there is nothing more you could want for whilst staying in this amazing BnB. The owners Bill and Noelene made our stay truly exceptional. They were incredibly warm, helpful and accomodating in every single way, and don’t get us started on how lovely the included breakfasts are - the freshness and Bills tomato’s grown from his garden really are standout and to be able to enjoy them in front of the gorgeous view really is something else. Would 12/10 recommend to stay here when in Wanaka. Thank you again for everything Noelene and Bill - you made our stay here better than we could have ever anticipated. :) Ash & Alex

Best stay in Wanaka!

This might be the best accoms that we’ve ever stayed in (and we travel a lot). The house itself is perched on a higher ground so you get to see the whole town, lake and the surrounding mountains from inside the house and the balcony. It’s also quite dark up there so you can see the stars on a clear night. The room is thoughtfully and sustainably built with all the amenities and facilities for a comfortable stay. Bill and Noelene stocked up the place with snacks and cooking ingredients too which was super helpful. Best part about this is spending time with Bill and Noelene. Super friendly hosts and even included homemade breakfast - with ingredients freshly grown from their backyard. Apparently if you stay more than 3Days you might even get to enjoy some salmon / trout on the menu! Bill and Noelene also gave us a tour of their lovely home with all the recycled elements and materials from all over New Zealand. This is a gem and we’ll be back for sure. Thank you Bill and Noelene!

This is a great accommodation with wonderful hosts.

Very comfortable apartment with everything you could need. Bill & Noelene are amazing hosts and cannot do enough for you. Breakfast was fantastic, with daily choices, cooked to order. One day was even given freshly caught trout. View across Lake Wanaka from the huge balcony is fantastic. Great communication with directions as location could be a little tricky. Would fully recommend. Thank you Bill & Noelene for making our stay so enjoyable.

Beautiful views and excellent hosts

Noelene and Bill are excellent hosts and made a great effort with our breakfast every day. The views are outstanding. I doubt there are better views elsewhere in Wanaka. The apartment is lovely and has everything one needs. We would love to go back there one day as we had a wonderful time.

A stunning apartment with amazing views of the lake and mountains. It is very comfortable and warm , with some nice touches like the robes and wine. It was really useful to have the use of laundry facilities The breakfasts are very good ... They set you up for the day, and it is all done with a lot of care. Noelene and Bill are friendly, interesting, and rightly proud of their wonderful home. We didn't want to leave, and if we were ever in NZ again, we would definitely visit here again
