I booked Philippa’s place because of the architectural style but on arrival, the place is much more stunning with views of the mountain surrounds. I love the Japanese influence of the stone path across water into the apartment. So unique and calming. I wanted a place that seem isolated and yet close enough to the center of Wanaka and this place delivers it all. To top it off, not on was the place a joy to stay in but my visual sensory was heightened by the landscape photography on the walls and to to have a very interesting couple as hosts definitely made this one of the top unique places I have stayed at. Stunning magical place to stay.
