This is a great spot to base a visit to the Wanaka area. Denise really is a super host and made a big difference in our enjoyment of Wanaka. Her local tips range from the best hiking trails and their level of difficulty, the best places to eat, and where to get the cheapest gas in Wanaka and Queenstown. Her place is beautiful - a private room and bathroom with separate entrance that overlooks a beautiful garden and young orchard. Very clean and quiet. Perfect space first one person or a couple. Only “heads up” is that there is not a proper kitchen if you want to cook meals. She supplies a tasty, simple breakfast and a fridge, toaster, kettle and teas and coffee. Was great for us because there are so many restaurant options within a five minute drive and Denise seems to know them all.
