We met Paul's sister, Deidre as he was overseas and she made us feel very welcomed from the moment we arrive. The place was really cosy with clean sheets and having the heaters really helped keep us warm (considering from where we came from). You get a glimpse of the mountains and there's even an apple tree in the garden. There's also the option of a separate entrance where you can enter if you're looking for some privacy. Location was great - a short drive into town where you can find food and all the other shops by the lakefront. We had trouble deciding what to eat and Deidre was able to recommend a couple of places. Wanaka is one of our top favourite spots in South Island and the stay made everything much more enjoyable.
