    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.

    Really pleased I chose to stay here in Wanaka. Lovely hosts, very welcoming. Really comfortable and clean accommodation. The facilities are super. From a well stocked kitchen to the bathrooms. I had a meeting to do with work in Ireland via Microsoft Teams and the internet worked perfectly. Very appreciative of that.
