**Please note, stays 6 nights or longer require additional linen charge**
The Space:
Set high to take in the fabulous views, this home has 2 levels; upon entry on the ground floor, you'll find two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Also on the ground floor is a cool 63 m2 self-contained retro-style apartment with a bathroom, full sized kitchen, dining for 6 and a spacious lounge with a "tilt-away" queen bed and a NOOD sofa that converts into a double bed. The ground floor terrace seats 4 and has its own BBQ. There is also a storage area for bikes, skis etc.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms as follows:
Master bedroom: 1 Californian King ( 2 King singles upon request)
Bedroom 2: 1 Californian King ( 2 King singles upon request)
Bedroom 3: 2 King singles (1 Californian King upon request)
Bedroom 4: 2 King singles (1 Californian King upon request)
Bedroom 5: 1 Queen "Tiltaway" bed and 1 Double sofa-bed
Guest Access:
You can self check-in and if you have any questions Christiane and I or our local manager will look after you.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled on the edge of Mount Iron, close to many of Wanaka’s family attractions, there is plenty to see and do, including Puzzling World, golf, fishing, biking & walking trails and of course Allenby Park with its recently completed playground. The Mount Iron Reserve shares the boundary with our property, so you wake up to lovely bird song in the mornings. The Allenby neighbourhood is safe and unpretentious and most neighbours haven't even bothered putting up a fence. For the outdoor enthusiast, the lake and bush environment is perfect for exploring and getting back to nature. The brand new "Three Parks Recreation & Shopping Complex" is situated just around the corner. During the winter you have good access to both Treble Cone, Cardrona, or the option to drive round to Queenstown and checkout The Remarkables or Coronet Peak.
Getting Around:
Only 4 min by car and 18 min walk to Wanaka Village and Lake.
Interaction with Guests:
We offer self check in/out, but we are also on hand by phone (or in person if need be) to answer your questions or help in any way we can. We have lots of local knowledge and contacts, and we're here to help. We're also familiar with most of the tourist hotspots, tourist attractions, scenic walks etc - so ask away."
