Terrific stay in a quiet local neighborhood in Wanaka. Deborah is very attentive to the property and tries hard to make sure you have all the comforts of home (or more :)).

Extremely clean unit, with fluffy bedding and towels. The property actually felt bigger than it looks online, probably because of the high ceilings. Huge TV means you can veg and watch from bed :)

We couldn't hear anything from the unit, even though it's in an accessible neighborhood close to central Wanaka. Plenty of lush local trees and bushes are all throughout throughout the property. The unit backs onto a lovely empty field. It has huge windows (with effective blackout curtains you can pull back) so you can see the surrounding area and starry nighttime sky.

The carport and lockable shed were useful for our SUV and ski gear.

Delicious continental breakfast provided every day for the next morning, with hearty breads, fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice, etc. Exactly what we would have purchased for ourselves. Deborah replaces the dishes and refreshes the supplies every day, so you don't really need a kitchen for breakfasts. Wanaka's restaurants are a short drive away for dinners.

Deborah is a super-friendly, welcoming and generous host who is keen to share her property and knowledge about the area. We loved chatting over wine and coffee in her uniquely-designed unit which is located up the driveway a bit in a separate building. She was so sweet to share the bread she specially orders from her favorite bakery, which my husband loved. Can't say enough about her warmth.

We only stayed for 4 nights but could easily have stayed much longer.
