Check in great as I arrived early just to get paper work done first but they told me room was ready. So easy going with everything. Staff really accommodating. We were so close to town and we had two different Mountain View's from room. Internet was fast as I had to work remotely a couple of days. Washing machine in the room was great as my husband was skiing and could wash each time. For a studio room it was very spacious. We would come again.

This place was exactly what we saw online and the staff were lovely. What an awesome way to spend the afternoon overlooking the lake with a quick (freezing) dip in the lake then kicking back relaxing.

We were given an upgrade to a three bedroom apartment on arrival which we didn't really need with only the two of us. Apartment was amazing, almost as big as out unit at home. View of the lake was spectacular. Garage was a little narrow but an unexpected bonus anyway. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great to have a fully equipped laundry and an amazing kitchen. Would definitely recommend it.

I cant speak more highly of the friendly customer service we received on our three night stay. From having the room warmed up ready for our arrival to putting a towel on our cars windscreen while the rest of the town frosted over. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The property is just a short stroll to the main street. Definitely recommended for good value for money accommodation.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. They had a double sofa bed for our kids. Was in a breathtaking location. Easy 20min walk to the town centre. Restaurant in the hotel was absolutely amazing with delicious food. We had the lamb shoulder which was perfect. Will return for sure.

We felt lucky to get to stay here as it is being developed in to what promises to be a very special accommodation in Wanaka. Very comfortable and lots of little details thought of. A great concept of using a beautiful home to accommodate guests and providing so many amenities…
