Our family of four enjoyed a fabulous week at Samantha's home. The house looks to be brand new, meticulously clean and just perfect for a ski holiday.. everything you need is there after a long day skiing at nearby Cardrona. Exceptionally comfortable beds, fluffy towels, heated floors and the kitchen basics have all been thought of. There is a beautiful wood fire in the loungeroom ( complete with sufficient wood chopped in the garage for ease of use ). We self catered most of the time, however the house is perfectly positioned to the lovely town of Wanaka. ... it's just a short 3 minute drive to the thriving cafe / restaurant scene, great bakery and ski hire stores... The area is also fabulous for a scenic bike ride along the lake. Samantha was a lovely accomodating host .. very kind, helpful and communicative .. We look forward to returning !
