    Perfection in Wanaka

    • Stayed 2 nights

    A small suggestion would be a king sized bed; and getting the bags up the stairs to the apartment is challenging for older people.

    A fully cooked breakfast each morning; The views are amazing; The Hosts had great suggestions for local sightseeing eg. Diamond Lake walk

    Unique, expansive, and beautiful, Kauri House is a very special place to stay. Perched in a private location with a 270-degree view, this multi-room apartment is spacious, well-appointed, and crafted with loving care. Bill and Noelene are extremely gracious hosts, and the breakfasts (included) are VERY generous and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Amazing hosts! The real deal B&B experience. Felt like we were with family. Hosts went out of their way to drop us off twice. Breakfasts were incredible (black peach!!). Bed and living space were very comfortable and views were incredible.

    We absolutely loved Kauri Apartment. It’s spacious, well equipped and has the most stunning panoramic view of Lake Wanaka and the mountains - it was great to sit out on the extensive balcony and take everything in. Noelene and Bill are really friendly hosts and serve up excellent breakfasts. Very highly recommended.

    Driveway, a bit hard to find at first then very steep but the view over Wanaka is worth the climb.
