    We knew that the location was further out of town than we would normally choose, so quite a decent walk. But this was a minor point as we had a car and there is plenty of parking in Wanaka centre.

    Beautifully presented comfortably sized room, impeccably clean and well provisioned. Nice outdoor area to enjoy views over the mountains while drinking a glass of wine. Bathroom was lovely with good quality products provided and plentiful towels. Definitely the nicest accommodation we experienced on our three week trip. Highly recommended.

    Really needs overhead lighting and reading lights by lounge sofa. Sorry to say, outside metal chairs not very comfy.

    Excellent. Great location. Lots of home comforts: coffee, tissues, fan, biscuits, toiletries etc.. Noticed beautifully handcrafted touches.

    Would have been nice to have better kitchenette facilities (kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave but no sink - had to wash dishes in bathroom sink)

    Beautiful room. Very clean and nicely decorated. Lovely bathroom and outdoor sitting area too. Very private.

    Thought we would be able to see more of the lake from the chalet. However, we could see lots of the mountains which was nice.

    Comfortable and clean, great facilities. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

    Bed was very firm which just isn't what we're used to. Blinds also do very little to stop the sun coming in early in the morning which was fine on our hike day but a bit annoying on our sleep in day.

    Easy check-in and out with quick comms from the host but no further interaction. Beautiful views and easy on road parking. 8 minute drive to town or beautiful walk. Very clean and smelt lovely when we arrived also very easy to heat when the weather was very cold.
