Wanaka Guest House
Place was clean and great location. Options for cooking limited to a microwave, BBQ supplied but doesn't really work in winter. The rest of the guest house well appointed. We left some coats in the cupboard which the owner nicely couriered back to us, at our request, once he was 100% positive that we had paid the courier fee. However, owner was less then friendly when we rang to request this. Accused us of breaking a door, which came of the track the moment we touched it. I refitted the door and neglected to rush straight up to the main house and tell him, to which he thought gave him the entitlement to yell at my wife over the phone. This interaction with him soured what was a great week, in a nice accommodation. Perhaps he needs to learn a little bit about ways to speak to people if he is going to be in the business of hospitality. Otherwise, nice place to stay

Lovely stay in Wanaka
A friend and I enjoyed our two nights at this spot. It was the perfect place from which to enjoy what Wanaka has to offer. The kitchen supplies were very useful - not having a kitchen sink took a bit of getting used to but we worked it out. Would stay again.

Very comfortable modern accommodation
Fairly new modern accommodation for 2-3. Very comfortable clean and tidy. Good facilities but owners unable to provide more amenities such as sink, or stove, due to regulations. More suitable for those eating out most of the time.

Gorgeous guesthouse
We enjoyed our stay here so much in this quiet, secluded part of Wanaka. The guesthouse was immaculately clean on arrival, the host was really hospitable, and the guesthouse was a delight to stay in with its comfy bed, amazing shower, quality sheets, towels, appliances and handy kitchenette. It seemed quite spacious and the alpine views were lovely to wake up to. The only drawback was there was no kitchen sink, but we would not let that stop us from staying here again.

Comfortable and Cozy
We had a nice short stay here and felt very comfortable and cozy the whole time whilst also being nice and spacious. It is in a very nice neighbourhood close to some quieter lakeside spots and is nicely tucked away on the property making it nice and private. Having the bikes was a nice option too.

Really nice place!
Beautiful location in a nice neighborhood. Landscape is pretty and the unit is spacious and new! My only ding on the property is that there is no sink in the kitchenette area. I realize that a sink was not advertised in the listing, but that wasn't really something I was looking for in the listing - that's just something that I would expect to be in the unit. However, lack of the sink is not a deal breaker - I definitely recommend this place!
