Featuring inner courtyard views, Art Glass Studio features accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 1.9 km from Puzzling World. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is located 3.4 km from The Wanaka Tree.

A beautiful, comfortable and cosy studio to explore Wanaka with everything you could need for a short-stay. The host went out of her way to ensure we had what we needed, including an early check-in as my partner had a migraine. Hassle-free parking, a short and enjoyable stroll into town. We would happily stay here again.

The location was very good. It was a short drive to everything. The property was very clean- inside and out. It looked like guesthouse was very new. The layout was very good. The bi-fold doors made it feel like a one bedroom unit rather than a studio.The bed was very comfortable. The big shower was excellent. The hosts were very helpful.

    Excellent accommodation with a stunning view - so peaceful and relaxing and the shower was to die for. So much better than staying in town and well worth the short drive out to Mt Barker Farmstay. A perfect base for daytrips around the region - thank you our lovely host, we appreciated the beautiful environment and quiet downtime.

    Access to the river through the garden of the main house was great, with a table to eat at just there. Amy was a great host and we were made to feel more than welcome. The studio was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
