Robyn’s retreat is so unique and perfect for a stopover in Wanaka, or before heading to somewhere like the Glaciers (or Queenstown if you’re coming from the Glaciers).
It’s modern, sparkling clean and the herb garden leading up to it is beautiful.
I had to leave early in the morning due to a trip at Franz Josef having to be be rearranged so I didn’t get to meet Robyn very much, but she was so friendly and helpful on arrival and we had everything we need. She was just a door knock away if we had any further questions.
The retreat is situated separately beside her house but it feels very private. It’s compact but really well laid out with modern furnishings. Maybe not somewhere to hang out in but for a stopover while sightseeing it’s wonderful. WiFi worked great while there.
The breakfast of fresh bread, jams and cookies was perfect for our early morning road trip.
The bathroom is lovely and like new. Shower is superb, with great toiletries and towels. Sink a little small, but totally fine to just wash your hands and brush your teeth.
One thing I’d have liked was a bedside lamp but that’s being really picky.
You will love this little treasure. Peaceful, but so close to the town of Wanaka if you want to grab food and a drink.
Highly recommend!
