Staying at Southwind Barn was a pleasure; it is a real gem. Comfortable, spacious, clean, with all the needed amenities. The kitchen had everything for preparing dinner at home after a long day out. The wood stove was great for our winter stay. Convenient location close to Wanaka, only a few minutes drive away from the hustle and bustle but serene and quiet. Our hosts Lynda and Lester were simply delightful in every respect. Sadly our stay of one month was cut short by Covid lockdown, and Lester and Lynda could not have been more understanding and accommodating. We highly recommend staying here, we will go back to Southwind when our travels take us down south again.
