The Straw Bale House was a great place to stay. The fire was great and kept the house warm and cosy throughout the night.
The beds were really comfy with an (electric blanket which was hardly needed) and really nice bed linen. The kitchen was well fitted out and easy to cook in with a large adjacent dining area. Plenty of room to dry the ski gear. The place was nice and clean. We didn't have a couple of items but they turned up the next day upon request eg coffee plunger and pine cones !
Would definitely come back again. Only 15 minutes from Wanaka and a easy drive.
