For all of the highlights one could imagine from a trip in New Zealand, I never expected that one of my Airbnb's would be one of them! After arriving at the house and seeing how beautiful the view was (the pictures don't do it justice), my husband and I cancelled our plans to go to Lake Wanaka that day and simply enjoyed the afternoon reading and relaxing on the porch. Later that evening, we peeked outside to see the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen (there was a telescope in the house but we didn't know how to use it!).
Richard and his wife were perfect hosts - they live right down the road and responded quickly to any of our needs.
This was one of the most unique Airbnb experiences I've ever had. I would not be surprised to see it land on an Airbnb Top Desired property one day. We were lucky enough to be guests relatively early (the property is about 6 months old i believe), so check it out before it gets booked up!
