The listing is super accurate, the Hayloft is an exceptional venue sitting atop John's house. You have full use of large bedroom, living room, kitchenette, along with a large bathroom.

The house is beautifully decorated, the balcony overlooks Lake Wanaka and the mountains beyond and in any season it is a place to savour with your morning coffee.

As a tour guide, John is knowledge packed when it comes to what to do in Wanaka, Queenstown, and beyond. He offered to drop us off at the start of some hiking routes so we could meet up with our car later. He was aware of which taxi companies to use and had some good advice of getting to the snow. All in all, I would happily repeat the two weeks we spent at the Hayloft.
