the Beech House was quirky but fun to stay in. Good location close to Wanaka centre but not quite walkable easily, but it was quiet. The garden is nice, and I liked being able to use a few of the fresh herbs. The view from the balcony is amazing, and it's a nice place to sit out in the evenings if it's dry and not too windy. The kitchen is well equipped and everything works well. The bathrooms were clean and good but the low hot water pressure means the showers are a bit of a trickle, especially if you try using both at once. Comfy beds, and lots of space.
