Fran had quite a bit going on when I arrived, and I myself was off early every morning to explore the Wanaka wilderness. But despite not seeing much of each other my trip was easy and comfortable, Fran provided all the amenities I might need, was pleasant company when we had time together, and all around it was a good stay. One big plus: the view from here home across lake Hawea is wonderful, the mountains at sunrise were just spectacular.
