Great stay!

We had an absolutely lovely stay here in Wanaka! The location was ideal, and the accommodation perfect for our group of friends - with separate rooms, and a spa (albeit a service to pay for separately). There were some quirks - like the bucket for the spa-pool was pretty cracked, but hard to complain when the price was so reasonable! We had a great stay and would highly highly recommend it to others.

Lovely old school batch! Great location!

We were 4 adults and 3 kids and the house was very spacious. From the listing, I was under the impression that only one room is in the sleepout but the bunk room is also there, perhaps can be clearer in the Amazing view from the deck!

The house was the most unloved and neglected we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in many, many places).We like rustic but this house was just not looked after.It wasn't very clean.The lounge furniture was uncomfortable.A couple of things were broken but not removed.The tea towels and hand towels were torn/stained.Upon arrival we were greeted by a dead car battery in the front yard.

Our bach has been owned by the same family for 50 years and it is very much loved. We use it throughout the year and have so many lovely memories. It is people like you that will make families like ours take our bach off booking platforms and you will have to pay twice/three times as much as what we charge. The listing description is very clear that the bach is basic and no frills. We had a 5 star review come in the same time as yours. Next time don't pick the cheapest bach your expectations are too high for basic bachs like ours.

Wanaka Autumn getaway

An old tired but much loved holiday home absolutely suited to our group of 70+ ages. Plenty of parking space also for a campervan. Within 20 minutes of coffee shops in town! Great old showers and comfy beds. The huge living area suited us well. We biked and walked between rain storms. Thankyou Belinda our host for letting us stay.

We knew it was rustic from the photos and others comments but for us it was very relaxing and comfortable. Everything worked and small things that you wouldn’t take on holiday were there and available for use. Plenty of space and well set up.

Not up to scratch

The standard and presentation was VERY disappointing. Wet washing still in washing machine. Hence very unpleasant smell on arrival!!! Barbecue disgusting and unusable. Cleanliness not up to an acceptable standard. Lawns very long. Not value for money. Wanaka still magic place to be.

About the host

Hosted by Belinda Hargreaves

Host profile image
2 families have owned this bach since the 70's. Its a very special place for us all with amazing memories of jet boating, skiing, camping in the Wanaka area. The bach has been improved over the years i.e heat pump new deck but it is still a simple bach, we only put a TV in a few years ago, and we now have internet.
