    The team were so friendly and such fun to talk to. The evening meal was wonderful and the rooms were understated luxury and comfort. Just a 4 minute walk to the Air Force Museum which was a real gem. A lovely end to our New Zealand vacation. Thank you Team Wigram.

    The Hidden Spring is a gorgeous little spot about 8 mins from the town centre of Wanaka. It's well appointed, high quality bedding and the bathroom is stunning. Each little suite is separate and private and the views from the rooms are lovely. Absolute five star, great value for money, and the communication was exceptional too. I was there during the week so was able to check out a little late which greatly assisted my plans. Thank you Emma and the Team!
