We loved our stay here, very relaxing, peaceful and scenic. Rooms were very well appointed and had very comfy beds.
The master bedroom had breathtaking views with a very well equipped kitchenette stocked full of breakast goodies (bread, butter, jam, cereal, delicious muesli, coffee, four kinds of tea, milo, lots of yogurt, trim and full fat milk)- all in very generous portions.
There were lots of hiking/biking trails nearby, so it's great if you want to head outdoors to enjoy the truly stunning sights (autumn colours were really breathtaking). My partner and I found that we were probably more foodie than outdoorsy types (!)
It's a short 20 minute drive into Wanaka's town centre-
apart from the many cafes and restaurants to choose from (be sure to stop by Big Fig), New World and Four Square supermarkets were also very handy. Make note that there aren't any street lights for your journey back after dark- so if you have issues with your eyes/driving back in the dark, it would pay to head back before sunset (we did this on our final night with some takeaway dinners in hand). There are a couple of one-way bridges for those who aren't used to driving in the countryside, so make sure you slow down for these.
We enjoyed chatting with Steve and Mitchell about this very special property, the double framed/insulated walls made for a very cosy and warm stay(!) Liz very graciously showed us the different animals residing at Mitchella Farm- we thoroughly enjoyed feeding the sheep and goats and meeting Bo- their very friendly and lovable puppy.
Thanks again to Liz, Steve, Mitchell and Ella for a truly wonderful and relaxing stay!
