Our "home base" for a week on the South Island was Wanaka. We decided to plan an overnight trip to Lake TeAnau for the glow worms and a day trip to Milford Sound. At the last minute, we decided to spend an extra night away from Wanaka so that we could better enjoy all there is to see if the Southern most part of the island. We took a chance and booked this airbnb one day before we needed it, and I was PLEASANTLY surprised! The price was PERFECT (especially because it was an unexpected expense) and it accommodated the five of us perfectly. Especially nice was that Gill was so sweet to leave us with fresh baked cookies and breakfast necessities that helped us get on our way quickly the next day and continue our adventures!!!!
