We stayed at Denise's place for two nights and it was one of the highlight of our trip! It was impeccable and we really wished we could stay longer. We loved how the place was pristine clean, warm and neat with ultra fast Wifi. Just outside the room is her orchard and a big field where her sheeps and alcapas would hang at during the day, so you get wake up to a farm view with mountain backdrop. At night, it is also a great place to star gaze as her place had little light pollution.
Denise is also a great host! She was quick to respond and provided many useful local tips. It was nice chatting with her and she made us feel very welcomed the moment we arrive. We went on a hike to Roy's peak during our stay and she sent us a message to check if we have arrived down safely at the end of the day. Very very thoughtful of her! The breakfast she had left for us was more than sufficient & was delicious.
We would definitely choose to stay at her place again if we ever get to re-visit Wanaka! Thank you so much Denise!
