My partner and I stayed for 8 nights over Xmas and New Year. The apartment is a great base for exploring the Wanaka area. Also in the immediate Albert Town vicinity. Very quiet area as it’s in a relatively new’ish housing estate. We did hear some noise from the tenants as the apartment is over their living area so you can hear their TV and some kitchen activity when in the bedroom. But it is not excessive and didn’t disturb us in any way. There is a Four square shop, cafe and chip shop within walking distance (20 mins), we strolled to them a couple of times as there are some walks around there too. Try fish and chips of the day, great deal on the takeaway we sat outside and used the cafe tables as it had closed at 2pm.
The place has everything you need whilst travelling. We didn’t need to contact the hosts during our stay but communications beforehand and after were very quick and informative. Would recommend to anyone who would like to stay near to Wanaka town but out of the hecticness of it.
