Great place to base yourself in Wanaka. A 20 minute walk from town, and lovely views to the lake and mountains. Well kitted out kitchen, and the kids books, games and backyard were appreciated by our son! Just a note that the spiral staircase might be tricky if you have any mobility problems. We have a four year old and he got the hang of it quickly, and there is a door at the top which can be closed to make it a little safer. In town we would recommend the coffee shack for great coffee, and federal diner for dinner. Plus if you have kids the playground on the waterfront is great too!
