It is beautiful and quiet here between the mountains. This place gives you lot's of privacy (we only saw the host once at check-in). The town Tarras is close by, but only has one or two (coffee)shops and a petrol station. Wanaka is 30 minutes drive away. The self-contained place was big for us two (with a living room, 2 bedrooms, and a kitchen). We loved the fireplace and mountain views. Communication was good too. Our host answered questions right away. Definitely recommended!
