Open plan house with 2 large double bedrooms downstairs and a large mezzanine floor with 3rd bedroom upstairs. The living area has a log burner (fire screen provided) which heats the whole house. Firewood is provided. Kitchen with dishwasher and combo clothes washing machine/dryer. Ranch sliders open out onto a large flat fully fenced private and sunny section creating indoor/outdoor flow. The house is sheltered, and in a quiet street.

There is enough room to park an average size boat.

Everything we needed

Comfortable house for our family of four. Fire heats up the space quickly (would have been hot sleeping in the mezzanine room but fortunately we didn’t need to). Kitchen well-equipped. Kids enjoyed playing in the sunny backyard. Nice and close to supermarket and quick and easy to get on the road to Cardrona each morning. Ken was very pleasant to deal with. Thank you.

Thanks for letting us stay in your Bach. It was superb. Location was great, and the facilities were spot on. We had a fun morning in the snow in the garden and more fun on the ski slopes!

Nice Wanaka stay

Great location, nice and sunny had everything we needed for our stay. Clean and tidy, plenty of crockery, lovely to have some books and a nice large tv. Water pressure in shower and firewood supply were both a little low (but it was a snowy winter week so we may have burned through wood quicker than expected), single bed was very old and soft - but overall a good stay. Thanks for the helpful communication.

Nice place, close to town. Takes a while to warm the place up when it's cold out, but once you do it's pretty cosy.

Comfortable, private and ideally situated.

We had an excellent stay, once again enjoying 5 minute proximity to the lake, easy 20 minute walk to town, open plan living and private recreational space. we were joined by four other family members who all also loved being there and all are keen to return. Ken's very friendly and helpful answers to queries made the entire booking process easy and straight forward. Nice new carpet and new TV really raised the bar on the sense of comfort and pleasure. Cosy House has become a firm favourite and we'll definitely be back.
