I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I booked the Wanaka Haven for our recent trip to New Zealand as we have found that B&B properties can be iffy. The Haven turned out to be the best hotel of our trip. For starters, the grounds are gorgeous, with stunning, with sweeping views of the rugged, snowcapped mountains surrounding Wanaka. The house itself was purpose-built by the owners, with their residence on one side and three guest rooms on the other side. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated in a modern style, notably absent of the frilly dust catchers or tasteless nic-nacs that are so common in U.S. B&Bs. The bathrooms are spacious and very modern and the commons areas attractive and functional. The property included a heated pool. Breakfast, served from 7-9, offered a wide variety of fresh hot and cold selections. The owners, Steve and Anne-Mie, were very friendly and informative while respectful of their guests' privacy. The Haven is located several miles outside of downtown Wanaka, so a car is a necessity. However, the drive to town is only about 5 minutes. Wanaka itself is a lovely town. The setting is every bit as attractive as Queenstown, but the town itself is much less crowded/touristy and therefore more appealing. There are a number of very good restaurants, but be forewarned that the most popular book up during the summer season, so advanced reservations are recommended.

Lovely B & B
Lovely bed and breakfast accommodation 4kms out of town close to the wineries. A good place to stay as Wanaka can be quite touristy. Breakfast cooked while you wait and beautiful rooms with a view and outside seating to just sit, enjoy a wine and soak in the scenery. Friendly helpful owners who fell in love with and migrated to New Zealand. One of the highlights of our accommodation choices.

Beautiful tranquility
Wanaka Haven was sensational. It just felt so good to be there. The accommodation was gorgeous, a really beautiful space to spend time in. The hosts were beautiful, incredibly thoughtful of small details and comforts which made this place really stand out. The property is close to town but feels secluded because of the large property surrounded by greenery majestic mountain views beyond that. Cannot wait to stay there again.

Such a peaceful place to stay only a couple minutes from wanaka town central. Hosts are really passionate about what they do and it shows through the way the whole property and rooms are kept. Stunning bathrooms and bedroom layouts. Hosts Steven and Anne-marie went above and beyond for us. Next time we will be spending more time here !

FABULOUS
There was nothing about this place we didn't like. The owners are lovely people - very helpful and friendly. The decor and furnishing are top notch. Beautiful bedroom and bathroom come with luscious bedding and towels and immaculately clean. More than enough choice at breakfast. Both continental and hot on offer. We took advantage of the good quality mountain bikes available for use and cycled alongside Lake wanaka. Located about 6kms from town but if you have a car its no hassle at all. Overall we loved our stay and would highly recommend it if visiting Wanaka.

The accommodation was very luxurious. Warm, cosy, and with epic mountain views. The owners were super friendly and were happy to chat to us over breakfast with recommendations on what to see and how to get around Wanaka. The breakfast selection was fantastic with delicious tea options! We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for the 2 days/nights we were there. A great experience.

Relaxing, Tranquil and Sophisticated
My partner and I generally go to resorts and hotels, this was our first Bed&Breakfast (so typically we were a bit nervous). The property is a quick drive from Wanaka township where you can relax by the lake and try the great restaurants along the water, this place was perfect! The property is absolutely stunning with incredible attention to detail (inlcluding the amazing breakfast provided). We highly recommend you book this hotel, they also have two beautiful Labradors (if you are a dog lover) if not they won't bother you at all. The hosts are professional, warm and friendly. An incredible amount of effort has been put into their property and the European finishes and touches will make you wish your home looked like theirs. Don'y hesitate to book this room, you won't be disappointed (especially if you need a break and rest in relaxing Wanaka).

Fabulous 4 night stay at Wanaka that didn't disappoint. Well appointed room and guest facilities that were used each night of our stay. After dinner tea/coffee/chocolate availability with accompanying cake/biscuits or chocolates if we were lucky ;) The heated outdoor equipment room for ski boots kept them toasty warm ready for the next day of practice. Hosts were friendly, informative and attentive. Amazing breakfast on offer with personalised cooking to individual needs. No hesitation to recommend. Dee and Lincoln - Adelaide, South Australia

Beautiful lodgings with a mountain view
Wanaka Haven is well located just outside of Wanaka in a very quiet spot. It has wonderful views of the mountain and is private enough that you think you are at home. The location was great as a base for the nearby skifields of Cardrona. The hosts Steve and Anne-Mie are very welcoming and the lodge itself is well maintained and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend this hotel.

Wananka Haven is a very upscale B&B with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. The Belgian owners designed the beautiful building with great attention to style and comfort. The views of the mountains are spectacular. The location is quiet and peaceful, with just a short drive to town. They also have mountain bikes available to guests. The pool and garden are beautiful.

We truly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Wanaka Haven. Situated just a few minutes outside Wanaka, the view towards the mountains is excellent. The hospitality of the hosts is extremely good, and the breakfast is a highlight. We look forward to coming back to Wanaka Haven again.

A home away from home with wonderful hosts.
Our stay at Wanaka Haven for 3 nights celebrating our honeymoon was a magical one. We originally just booked two nights but extended our stay because of our wonderful hosts, Stephen and Anne Mie, who felt like old friends you have known forever, and their beautiful home. All the finishes of our room and property were high end and everything felt so clean and fresh. The shared areas were so homely and the complimentary coffee, tea and baked treats was such a lovely touch. Wanaka Haven is a stones throw away from town and well located. We absolutely loved our stay!

Amazing stay!
We had an amazing 8 night stay at wanaka haven for our ski holiday. Great friendly hosts with great travel tips restaurant suggestions. Room and lodge were in immaculate condition with great facilities. Breakfast was amazing with so much food that we skipped lunch everyday. Location is great, quiet and a very short drive into town. There's amazing stargazing opportunities on the property and we were out there late stargazing almost every night. Drive up to Cardrona ski field is also easy from the hotel.
