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

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!

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.

The perfect stay!

My son and I traveled from Arizona all the way to New Zealand and truly loved staying here! The neighbor was beautiful, the house was clean, fresh, and relaxing, and Jay and Nikki were SUCH excellent hosts! It was almost as if we were staying with old friends or something. Nikki shared some DELICIOUS cheese muffins she had made with us after we arrived a day later than expected, and Jay was so kind to make himself available to drive us across to Rippon Hall one day for a wedding we were attending. His tour-guide vibes going through town did not disappoint! I also really appreciated the welcome binder and travel brochures - SO helpful! Truly loved calling this place "home" while we were on vacation!

Perfect location in Wanaka

We had a brilliant time. Our host, Jay, took us out in his boat to a unique island with a lake at the top in Lake Wanaka. There were bikes for our use and we were a short walk away from a quiet beach. Jay was very friendly and helpful, the holiday bungalow was very comfortable and private and the area was very quiet and peaceful. Altogether a perfect location.
