Chrissie’s place is very nice. It’s just a few blocks from the Wanaka CBD and beach front of you’re keen on being a short walk to Restaurants, pubs and stores. There’s a tall hedge around the front of the property that shields you from looking out on an otherwise drab street... plus a nice deck. The second “bedroom” is a vintage trailer parked 4 meters from the entrance door. It’s cute, but I wouldn’t want to spend the night in it. Here is what I most appreciated: (1) well stocked kitchen if you’re into cooking ( host owns the Big Fig restuarant in town which is excellent...so makes sense she would assure the kitchen has good tools, spices, etc). (2) there wear a couple of dusty mountain bikes...good for quick runs to the store or the beach for a morning swim. (3) Ziggy the cat comes with the rental.. a super chill feline 😄. (4) quick response from host..although we didn’t meet her in person, she was “on it” via text message with any questions we had. What I didn’t like... (1) the bedroom is an upstairs loft and the 1 bathroom is down a flight of stairs on the main level. My wife has to “go” a few time in the night and walking down stairs half a sleep is not optimum. (2) No AC..it was a little warm during our stays and we mostly managed the heat by opening up all the windows and the upstairs skylight. Downside, no window screens so flys and bugs come in. Probably not an issue for most of the year. (3) no ability to black out or even dampen morning sun light. If you’re light sensitive, prepare to wake up early.
