The location is good looking out over Wanaka district, the lake and the mountains. The property also looks directly over the local school which can be noisey and busy during school hours. The house is functionally good regarding space and amenity however its finishes are tired. Some light bulbs were broken, the walls in thoroughfares were very marked and dirty - needs re-painting - and the garage interior was unfinished from the original build. The cleaning was not good. On arrival, the bench tops surfaces, cabinets and interior windows were 'wiped over' at best but still showing the previous tenants handprints and wipe marks. The fire place was filthy and not stocked with ready to use wood. We left the house cleaner, and re-stocked with cut firewood near the fireplace, on departure than on our arrival. The owner was very good and supplied additional cleaning aides to use during our stay. A small amount of investment to refresh the interior and a new cleaning contract would bring this place back up to a very good option to stay.
