Nice bach stay in lovely Albert Town
We enjoyed our stay in the bach in Albert Town. It's pretty basic and not the most modern house but had everything we needed for our stay around Wanaka. Beds were comfy, water pressure was nice, and the kitchen well equipped. The booking, checkin, and the communication were easy and reliable.

Rustic old time bach
Bach was pretty much as expected. Great to experience a real original bach / crib. Basic and rustic. Lots of games, heating, good shower and running water. Could do with a bit of a clean. New mop head needed. Detergent would have been good first night. Left some for the next person. Check in process not ideal with a wait, after phoning having waited 20min. With a 3pm would think the small place would be ready. Manager came with extra wood during week which was really appreciated. Adequate for our needs and comfy enough. Easy to heat which was fab.
