About this property

Entire house with tranquil garden, cosy and private, by the river

Surrounded by stunning mountains and three beautiful rivers this lovely home is private, peaceful and relaxing with a large fully fenced outdoor area and tranquil veranda looking out across the reserve.
Situated in old established Albert Town with more space and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka but only a 5 - 10 minute drive.

Walking and mountain-biking tracks are literally out the front and back doors! Great fishing, swimming and boating, this is a special place.
It’s a five minute walk to the Albert Town store, famous Pembroke Patisserie, restaurant and bar and a five minute drive to Wanaka township. Ski fields are 45 minutes drive, Lake Wanaka 5 - 10 minutes drive and Lake Hawea 15 minutes drive.

Comfortable beds and sofas, a great woodburner plus heatpump/air con make this a great house for both winter and summer.
Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives and a dishwasher. Two fridge/freezers, laundry with washer and dryer plus both an iron and steamer.
Gas hot water, great showers and a full sized bath.

Very comfortable and clean with contemporary furniture and quality bedding with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and toilets, a large private back yard with plenty of relaxing outdoor furniture, BBQ, apple and peach trees.

Superb!
Everything about this property was excellent - location, communication with Richelle, perfect for our wee dog with full fencing, house inside and out was just right. The little touch with the fresh rosemary on the windowsill in the kitchen just finished it off!

Wonderful spot
We love the house and the location, and would definitely stay there again. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house is very private and yet close to nature; the river and walking tracks are right there. You can even walk to the local bakery for yummy food. Richelle was a pleasure to communicate with.

Great house, great location, great skiing - what more could you want from a winter holiday! The house was really well equipped and perfect for our family. Richelle was excellent to deal with with proactive and prompt comms. And we loved the Pembroke Patisserie down the road. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks!

Fantastic Holiday
We had a great stay in Albert Town and Richelle was a pleasure to communicate with. The house had everything we needed and is nicely located down a quiet street close to the river. There are views out to the mountains from just about every window. The Fire and Heat Pump kept the place nice and cosy. Plenty of room for five of us to spread out and relax.

Very comfortable home
This is a very comfortable home in a great location in Albert Town near the river and walking trails. The house is well appointed with everything we needed, including apples from the trees in the lovely relaxing backyard. It’s a short drive to Wanaka and a short walk to the Pembroke Patisserie! Richelle was easy to communicate with and we wish we could have stayed longer!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family of four who have holidayed in Wanaka since we were born and, like many other people, love the place immensely.

Why they chose this property

We love holidaying here and have created a home away from home for others to enjoy too. The house and furnishings are very comfortable and it has everything you will need with the benefit of being in such a lovely area.

What makes this property unique

Large private back yard with trees, birds, relaxing outdoor furniture and a BBQ. Over the road from the Clutha River and a very short walk to the Cardrona River. Biking and walking tracks all around you.
