We stayed at Tippy Canoe three years ago and loved everything about it. When New Zealand opened its doors after the Covid peak, we had to come back to the South Island, to Wānaka, and to Tippy Canoe. We booked nine nights and loved the whole time. This place is everything the Airbnb writeup says, but the thing that can’t be adequately described is the panoramic view from the overlook on which it is situated. On a fine evening, to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and just look out, I thought of Faust saying to the moment, “Tarry a while, you are so beautiful.” Fortunately we didn’t have to sell our souls for this.
