The View
Amazing location, the house has stunning views of the mountains and lake. Well equipped with everything you need, the group of 6 really enjoyed the house, very comfy beds and furniture. A great spot to unwind after a few busy days. Walking distance to supermarket cafes and bars, we can’t wait to book our trip next year and stay again. Thank you :)

Wanaka Family Friendly Home
Excellent family home, perfect for our family getaway! Loved the location, was a quiet respectful street and was close to bike tracks, park around the corner, community pool not far and a small supermarket at the end of the short street. Beds were comfy, great shower pressure, and the kids loved having a play outside every evening on the play area, and then having a bath to finish off there day. I would love to stay again if we were that way.

Wanaka Boutique
This was a last minute booking, Ross and Trudie met the market, I was lucky to find this accommodation. It is in a good position on a rise above the Wanaka Tree and reserve, if you want to walk it is about 15 - 20 minutes so I am told. They gave clear instructions to enter the home, which is a modern very well presented house. The room was separated by the stairs and a main door to the living area. It is totally private, with a large fresh and modern bathroom and the shower is separate not above the bath. There is another room that has 4 bunks in it. The room we were in was more like a suite, it had a comfortable bed, and a 2 seater couch. This is much better than the hotels chairs or bed to only sit on. We had access to the kitchen and lounge which we used when by ourselves. There is a lovely deck that can be accessed from the room itself or through the lounge, the sun was streaming in the afternoon, this time of the year however was a little chilly at times. I would recommend this

Townhouse with Mountain views
Ann’s place was perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable and it was well stocked for cooking meals during our stay. It’s a beautiful home in a quiet neighbourhood and was a great base for exploring the area. Ann was very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this stay.

The Moraine

Craigs house was really nice, modern and clean. The outside area (veranda/ porch) is great with kids to have a huge area with shadow during midday sun. Craig himself was really friendly and communicative. We would love to stay again there!

Central Wanaka Retreat Close to the Lake
This was a great location and very easy pleasant comfortable stay! Bedrooms all great and bunkroom roomy with good sized beds. Thank you for the opportunity to stay.

Adventure on your door step!
We loved Robert’s place in Wanaka. The house was just as described and perfect for our family of 5. We felt really at home here and would have happily stayed longer. The house has everything you need and a garden to enjoy the sun. Great location just outside of town but on a lovely estate surrounded by the mountains. Robert was a brilliant host, very responsive and proactive making sure that everything was ok and that we had everything we needed. I’d definitely recommend here if you’re in the area.

Lake and mountain views
Our family was mesmerized by the views and enjoyed the neighborhood playground just around the corner. Once we got our bearings, the walk into town was a fairly easy 20 minutes through a hilly park. The kitchen was nicely organized with all the essentials for family meals (we hadn't had a blender in a while which was great for smoothies). We had a great stay overall in a beautiful location. Our only challenge was the Wi-Fi, which was much slower than we had had elsewhere in New Zealand. Hopefully, this is something that can be easily sorted out for future guests. It was great to meet Hamish, who was a very kind host.

Location Plus. .Wanaka Beachside at Bremner Bay
