We stayed for 5 nights in September 2016, and this place suited us perfectly. It’s a nice house, close to the centre of Wanaka, and had everything we needed. This was a boys ski trip, so the large number of individual beds was very useful. I think there’s 9 or 10 separate beds in total. 2 bathrooms, good kitchen facilities, good laundry facilities, and everything you’d need to make a great holiday in either summer or winter.

Heating is via gas heater and wood heater. Great lounge room with big couches, TV, sound system and DVD player. Dining table with heaps of chairs for group meals. There’s a BIG outdoor table and BBQ for summer use.

Bathrooms are fine, however hot water is a bit limited, so care needs to be taken with long showers.

Kitchen has plenty of everything - dishes, cutlery, big fridge, dishwasher etc. There’s plenty of left-over food stuffs - spices, sauces etc, so you don’t have to buy every little thing.

Location is great - 15 minute walk to downtown Wanaka - easily do-able, even after a long apres-ski afternoon.

Wifi is available - we had a few issues with it due to a power outage, but the owners were very helpful and responsive and we got it sorted.

Garage has a couple of bikes, which are great for a gentle trundle around the Wanaka bike tracks. Garage has space to store skis, boards etc too, which is a bonus. Saves the risk of things getting stolen off cars overnight. Plenty of parking for 3+ cars in the driveway for larger groups.

Overall there is nothing that we needed that this house didn’t have. It makes a great place to base yourself for either summer or winter getaways. Owners are friendly and easily contactable. Highly recommended. Will definitely be looking to stay here again.
