We had a wonderful time in Wanaka and Iron Lodge. Huge thanks to the responsive, accommodating and friendly Corinne. She was always available with suggestions, advice and problem-fixes.
The house is a short walk from the waterfront, where great cafes and outdoorsy activities cluster. It is also within walking distance of Mount Iron and Puzzle World. A short drive to great hikes, plane rides (or jumping out of a plane) at the airport.
It is big, comfortable, and full of amenities. I had a great time cooking in the kitchen - there are more gadgets and utensils than I even have at home. Beds are all plush. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and another has one next door. Several sofas and a huge dining table provide plenty of space for everyone. Wifi is fast and local Netflix included.
Looking for a good excuse to come back to Wanaka. Will definitely look for Iron Lodge again. Thank you Corinne!
