After 3 days of cold and rain on the east coast we made a spare of the minute decision to head west to sunny Wanaka and were welcomed by Ann's lovely home in a quiet part of town with brilliant views of the mountains. Ann and Ian were so welcoming and hospitable. They had good tips and great local knowledge. It's a bit of a walk into the main part of town by the lake (about 25-30mins) so we opted to drive as there's ample parking. We loved our stay in Wanaka at Ann and Ian's and would have stayed longer had we had the luxury of time.
