Frances is a wonderful host. She has a beautiful home (and a gorgeous Labrador called Bella). The view is spectacular! Our room was beautifully rustic, inclusive of a TV, a small fridge, free WiFi and an ensuite bathroom. We had some great conversations, though Frances was also very respectful of our privacy. Her cooked breakfast each morning was amazing, she even catered to our dietary requirements. It's a short drive to shops (5mins), we didn't try walking but felt that this might be difficult. Highly recommend staying with Frances if you are in Wanaka.
