We spent a month at Tippy Canoe, and we didn't want to leave. It's a wonderful spot with killer views in a neighborhood just outside Wanaka in Albert Town. There is a cafe in the next neighborhood, Double Black (amazing), and the Pembroke Patisserie that just opened up a new location in Albert Town is also great. You're only a five-minute drive to Wanaka, and there are so many things to do in the area! The place is clean and modern, everything works and did I mention the views? Would live there, easily.
