Luxury Lake View

KatieRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Incredible spot steps from Wanaka center and with great views of the lake from living and main bed rooms. We stayed here 4 nights in December with two small kids and loved every second of it. From walking to see birds and eels down by the water to the extremely accessible and cool playground this place was a dream. And it had parking and a pool, hot tub, and exercise facility to boot! If you’re looking for comfort, access, views and perfection in Wanaka look no further!

ShereeRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Excellent family home, perfect for our family getaway! Loved the location, was a quiet respectful street and was close to bike tracks, park around the corner, community pool not far and a small supermarket at the end of the short street. Beds were comfy, great shower pressure, and the kids loved having a play outside every evening on the play area, and then having a bath to finish off there day. I would love to stay again if we were that way.
