Katherine's communication from the beginning was timely and clear. She was even available to a take messages and make arrangements during the festive season. She is awesome. This brand spanking new space is beautifully appointed and sparkling clean with ample space for the belongings of two people. The bathroom has underfloor heating which is a great touch. The courtyard outside faces lake Wānaka and the many beautiful peaks surrounding it. Such makes a stunning vista for yoga in the early morning sun or a quiet coffee or wine outside in the late evening sun. Easy walking distance to all local amenities including bars, delicious restaurants including food trucks, the beautiful lake Wānaka, local supermarket and liquor store. Whilst there we attended Rhythm and Alps festival and the bus to and from the Cardrona location was but a 10 minute walk from Kōwhai Studio - so perfect. Our stay here was more than what we could have hoped for. Whether you're there for outdoor adventuring or just relaxing we would highly recommend Kōwhai Studio as your base. Thanks Katherine for being a wonderful host.
