This house really is beautiful and is exceptionally equipped and furnished (lovely leather lounge suites and beautiful beds!). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Hosts communicated well and made check in a breeze. The nightly rate was higher than I was originally looking for, but we were visiting Wanaka for the Motatapu bike race and accommodation was filling quickly so I stretched our budget to book here. As it turned out, the house represented fantastic value. I don't believe the photos do the house justice and as we were so comfortable there we stayed in every night and cooked, rather than venture out to spend more money. That wasn't a conscious budgeting decision, just a consequence of staying in a fantastic place. Thanks for a fantastic stay John and Belinda!
