The property was very spacious and comfortable. It was clean, modern and had everything we needed for our two night stay. The trampoline and table tennis made it so much more enjoyable for the kids. We made some great memories there. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in this Wanaka home. The neighborhood is very quiet and a short drive (or a long walk) to the downtown area where there are lots of cafes and shopping. A 20 minute drive to some great tramping trails. The house has great views of the mountains, is very clean, and comfortable beds. I would definitely stay here again.

The house had all the basics and we enjoyed the view of the snow-covered mountains. Location was great to visit Queenstown and the surrounding area. Unfortunately the garage door opener didn’t work.

Thanks for your honest feedback. We pride ourselves on always responding immediately to any issues as they are raised. Unfortunately this issue was never raised directly with us. The battery has now been replaced in the remote, and functions well again.
