Jean's house is spacious, comfortable and spotless. The kitchen, though small (with a 2-burner stove), is well stocked with all the pots and pans and utensils you could desire and a dishwasher. Though a bit far from Wanaka, it is very convenient for exploring the historic gold-mining towns of the Bendigo gold fields. The surrounding scenery is itself gilded in the evening light. As advertised, this is a very serene rural retreat.
