Vicky's place was very spacious with garage and off street parking. Our party of 10 had dropped to 6 unfortunately which meant it was an expensive week for my husband and I but that was our misfortune and unavoidable.
The view was wonderful, including from the upstairs shower. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well equipped although I did take my Thermomix® to cook up a storm for Christmas.
It is a great base to do so many things, but you need a car to get around.
The Boatshed Cafe is nearby and worth a visit as is the Sherwood Restaurant at the base of the hill and we always go to Bespoke Kitchen near the base of the gondola.
A day trip to Wanaka is worth doing as is a vineyard visit or two. This time we went to Chard Farm and had a very entertaining lady doing the winetasting.
We also did a day hike past the Routeburn Falls Hut and on to Lake Harris and back which was a long day.
