Wanaka Lake Studio (New)
We loved our stay at Gills. Place was immaculate and matched the pictures. Gill was very responsive with any questions and gave excellent recommendations. We only had one night but wish we could have stayed longer

Comfortable modern apartment
The location was perfect for our stay. Sonya let us know that the apartment was ready for us earlier than the ti.e we were told. Sonya offered to turn on the heat pump before we arrived . The apartment was homely and we lived our stay . We certainly will be telling others about our stay. We will be back for another visit and certainly will be keen on staying here again. The bed was super comfortable and the apartment was homely.

Guest apartment near Wanaka
Stayed for 3 very enjoyable nights, which for 2 we used the outdoor undercover cooking area which was good and had all the necessary cooking facilities in a very spacious area with seating.The use of the outdoor garden table for eating was extra nice as it was out in the open. The living room was clean, spacious and open plan with fridge and work surface The bedroom was ok, with a separate bathroom with walk in shower which was also good and clean. Enjoyed our stay

Prime positioned Lake House in Stunning Lake Hawea
Thanks Amanda. We had a fabulous break at your lovely home in Lake Hawea. The lake was breathtaking, we had a brilliant outdoor time on bikes and walks and we loved our meals at the Lake Hawea hotel.

Lakeshore Springs - 3 Bedroom Lakefront Apartment
Easy check in. Location is amazing and condo is nicely laid out. Peter was very responsive with questions

Self Contained Cottage - BAR2
Anyone wanting to stay in Cromwell do not look anywhere else but this cottage. Spacious, fantastic cottage garden complete with rabbits, hedgehogs, quails and many other birds. The scenery of lake Dunston and the mountains from the patio is to die for. Lucie is a wonderful host replying within minutes to any queries. While staying at the accommodation one tour which we highly recommend is the Clyde Dam Tour.

Entire house and garden - River Retreat
A beautiful home that my family thoroughly enjoyed staying at. Homely, spacious, well-designed and furnished, and full of everything you need. Located near a beautiful river and some walking/running tracks and a short drive from everything you need. Couldn't be happier with our stay.

Warren St House
This is an excellent location and spacious property. Would happily stay here again.

The Yellow Door
The experience of staying at the yellow door home was amazing! I highly recommend this home to anyone considering staying in Wanaka. It has amazing views, is very private, well laid out and has everything you could ever need in a holiday home. It felt very homely, with plenty of the things you would see in your own home which made you feel relaxed from the moment you walked in. I highly recommend making use of the spa at dusk, as the sun goes down and the stars come out, it is beautiful. We really loved our stay at this home and would gladly book it again when we visit Wanaka.

Point of View
Beautiful place with the most amazing view. We were 3 families with 6 kids in total and they fit perfectly in the bunk room. Everything felt so luxurious and comfortable, especially the high quality beds. Our kids loved the place!

Secluded Sanctuary, Stunning Mtn Views, nr Wanaka❤
We had a great stay at this wonderful spot! My wife, 11-month old, and I stayed for 4 nights. Cozy, clean, peaceful. Randall and Amanda were welcoming and extremely helpful. Loved the fresh bread, eggs, & jam and the apples and almonds straight off the trees! We were happy to support and experience this sustainable, off-grid farm. Would definitely stay again if we end up back in the area. =)

Chalet Wanaka
The chalet is well located, it's a quiet and peaceful place. It's about 10 minutes walk from the Wanaka tree and about 25 minutes walk from downtown. The hosts have been responsive and attentive to our needs. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much.

Three Bedroom Apartment
Great place to stay with kids!!!

Charming Cardrona Alpine Villa
Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Lovely and warm on cooler evenings. So handy being 2 minutes walk to the Cadrona pub for dinner.
