We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Huia Hut. The weekend we stayed was the weekend of the Agricultural Show, and Wanaka was extremely busy. We were grateful for the quiet seclusion of the Huai Hut when we had had enough of the crowds. The Hut is located about 15 minutes walk from the centre of town, but if you don't mind a walk to burn off the calories from the good food and drink available in Wanaka, then it's not an issue. The Hut provided everything we needed, including a washing machine (thank you!). I loved the quirky finishing touches, and my husband appreciated the very sharp cooking knives and the excellent WiFi. We highly recommend Huia Hut for a comfy homely Wanaka stay.
