Great location

The apartment is very convenient to everything and has easy parking. Gill was great and let us check in early. The only downsides were the low ceiling and some noise from upstairs.

Easy checkin, good location (7-8 minute walk from lake and most restaurants). Low ceilings (and low clearance in shower) so not a great choice if you are on the tall side. We are light sleepers so the noise upstairs in the morning was a bit challenging.

We enjoyed the spacious apartment in easy walking distance to the lake, shops and restaurants. Easy parking on the drive with own entrance and outdoor sesting area. The friendly host family lived upstairs and were very helpful. An extra bedside table would have been useful.

Our home away from home

We stayed at Gill’s place in Wanaka for 12 days and had an amazing time — we honestly didn’t want to leave. The location is absolutely PERFECT: walking distance to everything — cafés, shops, the lake — and with a beautiful view of the mountains right from the property.The house itself is spotless, cozy, and truly feels like a home away from home. It has everything you could possibly need: a washing machine, dishwasher, plenty of towels, super comfortable beds, and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals. After long days of hiking, we loved coming back to relax on the clean, comfy sofa and watch our favorite shows on the smart TV. Both the AC and heater work great, so the house was always at the perfect temperature.Gill is a wonderful host — warm, understanding, and always helpful. You can really see the care she puts into the place, keeping it clean and tidy down to the smallest detail.Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Wanaka — we’d absolutely come back!
