We only spent a night at Ed and Rachel's place, and wish we could stay many more! It is a lovely studio unit/chalet on the hillside in Wanaka with amazing views towards the mountains and Treble Cone ski field. Northfacing, so is very sunny.
The chalet itself was very private, and really quiet and peaceful. Very clean, and had everything we needed. We booked at the last minute when we were already in Wanaka, and Rachel's communication about availability and location was very efficient and prompt. Rachel and Ed live nearby and are very friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive and gave us plenty of privacy. They are Wanaka locals and know the area very well - I'm sure they'd have lots of handy hints about the area, especially the skiing. Thanks very much for the last-minute stay!
