Anglers paradise and great family holiday place

"We loved this location, a few minutes' walk to the wonderful Makarora river braidplain. The house is unique: rustic and a little run down. Comfortable enough if you aren't expecting luxury. Some things could use a little updating (i.e. floors and bath fittings) but all this is secondary to the stunning landscape. We enjoyed our 10 days exploring the area--be sure to check out The Craypot fish and chippie at the end of the road over Haast Pass and the Wilkin Jet Boat tours."

"Great stay for a couple of days for the Wings over Wanaka. The spot had everything we needed whilst there. Just a suggestion, when people travel with the luggage restrictions, it might be a good idea to supply a hairdryer and complimentary shampoo and shower gel. Other than that, the place is great."

"Had a great stay at this property. The house and location were fantastic. Plenty of room for a large group. The only downside was the property manager, who didn't turn up to meet us at property. After nearly an hour of calling her and trying to communicate with the main office from the driveway she finally answered her phone."
