We’ve stayed at a number of Airbnb locations over the years, but this has been our most enjoyable stay! Full stop. It was so great that we extended our stay just to stay at their place one more night!!! 6 stars if I could.
For an example: when we arrived Nattaya brought us fresh picked strawberries from her garden. Delicious! And then today, when we moved from the guest house to the apartment, she brought us over fresh, hot spring rolls that she had made! THE BEST SPRING ROLLS WE’VE EVER EATEN. NO JOKE. Oh, and she also included a dipping sauce.
Nattaya and her husband have been magnificent hosts and have thought of all the little touches to make the stay wonderful. The place is spotless, the decor is modern/clean/comfortable, all the amenities are taken care of and thought through, and the spaces are designed with comfort and care.
Since we extended one more night we stayed in both the guest house and the smaller (of two) apartments up the hill. Both the guest house and apartment are great. Perfect amount of space for 2 people (even 3 or a kid) and we have been beyond comfortable both locations.
They let us borrow their mountain bikes and we had a great ride along the lake and river right down the road.
Great location - 15 minute walk to town center. You are far enough away to enjoy the quiet of their nice neighborhood and their local paths/preserve. But still super convenient to walk, bike, or drive into town center at your whim.
Next time we come back to Wanaka - we are definitely staying here again. Loved it!
