Emily's Richland Retreat was the nicest place we stayed in during our tour of the South Island. It was very nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. We loved all the thoughtful touches. It had everything we needed during our 2 days in Wanaka. And Emily graciously let us use her laundry machine. The unit is attached to the main house, so there were a few times we could hear voices or doors closing, but nothing that bothered us. Other than that, our stay was great and we would highly recommend!
