The spacious holiday home with a patio and mountain views features 3 bedrooms, a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and 2 bathrooms with a walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are featured in the holiday home. There is also a seating area and a fireplace.

The house was perfect. Great communication with the owner. They let us in a couple of hours early as well. There were four adults in our group including me in a manual wheelchair. I could access the house via the garage. The front door has a step. The house was spacious and easy to get around. The house feels like it is only a few years old and is very clean and modern. There is a nice sheltered outdoor area with a BBQ and a table. Its only a few minutes drive from town. Very quiet. I booked this via Bookings.com and it said it was wheelchair accessible but for those people that are in a wheel chair here is some extra info. You will need another person to help you to reach the higher cupboards. You cannot get your wheelchair under the sink and the kitchen tops are a bit high so you might need someone else to wash dishes and help you in the kitchen. The dining table is long and has plenty of room to get your chair under it. The laundry area is accessible and you can reach both the washing machine and the dryer. There is two rooms with a double bed and one room with a bunk bed. The biggest room has an on suite which the commode can fit over the toilet but its a tight squeeze. The commode will not fit through the shower door unless you take the wheels off and reassemble it in the shower. Then you will need someone to lift you into the shower. The bed is a good height for transferring and is very comfortable. There is plenty of room on both sides of the bed for the wheelchair. All cupboards are closed in ie you cannot get your legs under any sinks.

    Close to the centre easy safe walking distance. Staff were very helpful, happy and friendly. Room was nice and clean with the heater on it was very cozy, just loved the electric blanket. Only problem was booked a slot due the hot tub and didn’t get in as a group of young lads stayed in for over two hours and didn’t feel comfortable asking them to leave.

    Amazing location in Wanaka, staff were lovely and accommodating making us feel at home right away. Room was clean and spacious with a mountain view. Great water pressure in the bathroo Breakfast was fantastic, with a varied range of selections. At night the fireplace was always on giving a cozy winter vibe and could help ourselves to tea and coffees as we liked which was appreciated. Hot tub was perfect after a long day. Staff gave great options for us despite not having a car and we will definitely be recommending this place to others.

    Stunning views, mountains and countryside all around. Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing environment in this beautiful little cabin gave us one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. Just sitting either in the hot tub or on the deck was a truly serene experience. We came away feeling by fresher and renewed
