    Very tasteful separate guest house in quiet residential area. The hosts live in the main house just above the guesthouse and are very welcoming. They will give you tips for local trips and dining options. There is a barbecue and we could use the bikes to ride into town. Loved the stay and the view and would definitely return if in Wānaka again.

    Excellent, private, quiet. Just a quick drive down into town and Lake Wanaka. Ambistious guests could walk to town as well. Great hosts who left milk for us in the fridge. It was so helpful to have a washing machine, and there was excellent breeze and an extensive clothesline to dry the clothes.
