Phillipa and Martin’s studio is the IDEAL place to stay when exploring the Wanaka area. Located in adjacent Albert Town, you will be a 6 minute drive from Wanaka city center, ideally positioned for city exploration and to access some of the region’s incredible hiking trails.
The studio itself is as or better than advertised, creatively designed and tucked into the hillside, with access across a small moat with stepping stones. Floor to ceiling windows make great utilization of natural light, and shades available for privacy (as well as masks if you want to take a daytime nap). Their artwork is thoughtfully featured throughout. All modern amenities available, including a kitchenette with refrigerator.
They are lovely as hosts, providing quick and useful tips when we hit a snag in our travel plans, but also carefully respectful of privacy.
We will certainly seek this place out if we are in the Wanaka area again! :)
