The house itself was brand new and very clean, it also isn't too far from Wanaka itself, however there are issues with the house and the location. It is next to the main highway and close to traffic lights so cars are constantly slowing down and speeding up outside. The bedrooms get way too hot in summer too with massive windows, although only tiny opening ones and no way to cool the rooms down, and since you need the window open the traffic noise is even more of an issue. If you go in winter these issues may not be a problem, but I would avoid it in summer.
