This is a wonderful home, and Jane and Ben are wonderful hosts. It was perfect for our family with young kids - with a trampoline, swing set, and boxes of toys selected by Ben to be appropriate for our kids ages. The gardens are well cared for, and we were able to pick a plentiful amount of raspberries and tomatoes during our stay.
The members-only pool and clubhouse is literally 10 meters away across the street and offered a great activity for the kids on hot days when we wanted to chill.
Ben set up a Christmas tree for us, and everything was as easy as it gets - from the new shampoo/conditioner/body soap and many, many bath towels in each bathroom, to the fully furnished kitchen which we cooked in almost daily.
You can tell the difference between an Airbnb managed for profit by a corporation and a true, livable home managed by the family whose memories are in it. This is decidedly the latter. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Wānaka.
