Joe is an outstanding host. Unfortunately I didn't get the privilege to meet him and his family as they were on a road trip to Auckland. He went out of his way to message me asking if I was ok and had checked in without any problems. Which I had no problems with. Such a cosy, homely place in a peaceful neighbourhood with great little touches inside and out. I arrived early and Joe allowed me to store my suitcase which I really appreciated. Had the best nights sleep and loved the manuka honey body wash in the shower! Would of loved to stay longer but if I'm ever back in Wanaka I will definitely stay there again.
