The photos probably don't do Nikki & Franck's place justice. It's in the town and super-close to the lake. What's nice is that the elevation and great views make it feel like you're much further out than you really are and yes, there are lakes peeks, although the amazing mountain ranges form most of the views.
The drying room was good for ski gear and there is so much space under the house for things like skis and bikes. Double-glazing makes the well-appointed house very quiet and warm. A little on the more pricier side, but we felt that it was worth it.
The communication with Nikki & Franck was great and all up, I'd thoroughly recommend the house as a great Wanaka base.
