Cute stay in Wanaka

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. The house is a little dated and it got hot in the afternoons, but the lake is a short walk where it is cooler.

Quaint Cabin

This property was a great find in Wānaka. Great location and amenities that we completely recommend and would stay again. After checking in, there were a few minor issues (insufficient glassware, burned out lightbulbs, and a broken doorknob) that the property manager addressed diligently and quickly which we appreciated. The property and location were great for our 1 week stay in Wanaka and we would not hesitate to return.
