Well, we got more than we expected! We booked this wee retreat last year so we could attend a very special friend's wedding. The description was what made us book...the words about this being a retreat, the pictures of colourful cushions on comfy couches, the kitchen made of wood and the comments from fellow airbnb stayers sealed it for us. The little home is all of this and much more. Tanette's attention to what makes a stay special was noticed. We know because we run an airbnb too. People tell us what is special is that as hosts, we know how to stay being friendly, helpful and chatty and we know instinctively when to let our guests just 'be'. Tanette does this perfectly, seamlessly and even offers a massage in her wellness room next door. The 90min massage is divine and left me relaxed and ready for the wonderful weekend in Wanaka. We can recommend the little Elephant Retreat totally. The on foot time to the hub of Wanaka and the lake is a lovely easy 10mins walk. You can leave your car in the carpark just in front of the retreat and the address is just off the main road into Wanaka making it very accessible. You must try this little cherub of an airbnb.
