Wanaka House

Fantastic house in Wanaka, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for the week we stayed there. A short dive into town and easy access to Cardrona for skiing! We will be back for sure. Thank you :)

Immaculate Property

The house had everything we needed & was immaculate. Could not fault anything in the house. It was extremely hot during our stay (30 degrees) so the aircon was a relief though the lounge does not seem to get any effect. The bedrooms are spacious & very comfy beds. The house is about 5 minutes from town so a car is necessary. It was quiet despite the closeness of the neighbours. Only minor thing was that the parking is busy in the street - just a design fault with the suburb. Everyone else was great. The property manager was also outstanding when I lost the key (sorry!). They answered the phone straight away & came to our rescue within 15 minutes. Great service! Highly recommends
