What you read is what you get. The house is good to stay in with all the amenities stated. It doesn't have views but you don't need to go far to find them in Wanaka and it is more fun to be outside to see them anyway. Tim seems happy to answer questions, provides tips and even fixes the weather. It is not right in the middle of the shopping area but you can walk there or it is a 2 minute car ride. Stay at his house and have a great holiday.
