“Lovely, clean and private suburban unit but with limited views”
The place was very clean and tidy and had complimentary milk and water in the fridge. Lots of space for your luggage and best of all it's private so you don't hear or see other people. We appreciated been able to use the gym and hot tub (however the pool was closed for repairs). Though there's no sink the dishwasher was helpful, however you can't fit the tall glasses in there so these had to be washed by hand in the bathroom sink (not ideal!). Providing shorter glasses would be good so they can fit in the dishwasher. There's air conditioning and heating which is great!

“Lovely modern unit made for a comfy stay”
The property is super clean and a nice modern place. It is far enough from the main house and separate so you have a feeling of privacy. Bathroom was especially modern and smart. Hosts were really friendly and quick to communicate. There were mountain bikes to use and also a local gym / pool that you can access. Sofa area is comfy and there is aircon / heating meaning the room is at a nice temperature. The location is in a very nice neighbourhood and is less than a 10min drive into the town centre.

“Lovely stay to enjoy the nature of Wanaka”
Extremely friendly hosts, absolutely stunning location with full privacy (separate small house with a fenced off garden, terrace with great views and even a BBQ option), bikes for free to explore the lake which is just around the corner, coffee machine with tabs (not just instant coffee), super comfortable inside, nice and quiet at night

“A real gem”
The property is new, spotlessly clean, very private and impeccably furnished. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, and Wānaka is delightful. This is a great place to stay and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

“Excellent stay in Wanaka”
Super comfortable and spacious property, very clean and tidy, and had all the amenities we needed. Even had a barbecue which we sadly couldn't make use of. Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean and modern. Great quiet location a few minutes drive to the town centre, was easy to find and there was plentiful space for parking by the street. Would stay again!
