Thanks so much for your review Katie.
I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay, you are welcome back anytime.
Excellent property. Very thoughtful host. All the ingredients for a perfect getaway. Close to Wānaka but more relaxing.
Highly recommend & would plan to book again.
Great location to drive and see a bit of the region or just walk out the front door and do the beautiful river walk. Very dog friendly neighbourhood. Close to ski fields and Wanaka. House very tidy and easy to get cosy in the winter.
Perfect getaway for our family.

I’m glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your review and for staying and being such great guests!
This is our 2nd stay at this house and again it provided everything we needed for our family holiday. There is plenty of space for us to be comfortable. It is located in a lovely quiet area near the river.
Excellent spot to park up for a few days and explore Albert town and Wanaka. Great spacious house with plenty of places to enjoy the sun! Our pooch thoroughly enjoyed the large backyard and dog park over the back fence
Everything about this property was excellent - location, communication with Richelle, perfect for our wee dog with full fencing, house inside and out was just right. The little touch with the fresh rosemary on the windowsill in the kitchen just finished it off!

We are a family of four who have holidayed in Wanaka since we were born and, like many other people, love the place immensely.
Why they chose this property
We love holidaying here and have created a home away from home for others to enjoy too. The house and furnishings are very comfortable and it has everything you will need with the benefit of being in such a lovely area.
What makes this property unique
Large private back yard with trees, birds, relaxing outdoor furniture and a BBQ. Over the road from the Clutha River and a very short walk to the Cardrona River. Biking and walking tracks all around you.
