Wow we felt like we hit the lottery when we drove up to this place. It’s up and away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka. It literally feels like a retreat into an artists haven. Everything about the property is exquisite. From the sculptures on the grounds to the amazing gate.
The studio itself is incredible. Uh literally feel like you are stepping into another world. There’s a water feature in front so you take a series of stepping stones into the place.
It’s wonderfully appointed with Beautiful furnishings. And of course photos and other things made by the amazing artists who have let you stay in their place. You could spend an entire evening (we did!) just reading about the incredible exploits of the owners. Really inspiring.
The studio itself is very well appointed. The bed is awesome. And we loved the lounge chair. There is a dining table for eating. And a microwave and a refrigerator. Most importantly the exposure is beautiful. You can open the doors wide and enjoy the fresh air.
The bathroom is clean and modern as well as being light with a wonderful light feel to it.
They also include access to their lounge on the side of the house with lovely chairs and outdoor eating area.
But the best thing is their hospitality. Philippa greeted us and was so welcoming. She gave great advice on restaurants. And put us onto a wonderful walk at Diamond Lake with spectacular views.
In the end a wonderful and relaxing stay that we highly recommend :-$
