This property was just what we needed while in Wanaka for a family wedding. Certainly enjoyed the Pembroke patisserie. We also enjoyed the walk along the riverside.

Great little apartment

Suited us perfectly as we dined out. Kitchen is quite small, might be challenging if you wanted to cook anything too complicated. Bed comfortable, good shower, warm and sunny.

Thanks for staying at Relaxing retreat by the river Pauline. I hope you had a fabulous time. Im sorry that we didn't meet the mark with your communication expectation. I'm new to hosting so keen to gain what is deemed to be a good level of communication. Multiple messages were sent leading up to your stay and again during your stay. I didn't get any responses from you. I'd love your feedback. Rookiesretreats@gmail.com Many thanks Kirsty
