We chose Wanaka Cottage because it had everything we were looking for. Particularly the spa, fireplace and BBQ. As well as washing machine and dryer etc. as we stayed for two weeks skiing 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Ash just happened to be there when we arrived and let us in. He was also attentive to make sure that we had plenty of firewood and clean linen during our stay. Jackie had made a lovely crab apple jelly from the tree that grows on the property for us to try. They live in an adjoining building but it is very private for both parties. We used the deep bath tub which was a lovely treat. It had a shower over it and you would just want to be careful getting in and out, especially if you were not agile. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked almost every night. We will definitely go back to stay again if we get the opportunity in the future.
