PLEASE NOTE: Airbnb does not consider infants to be guests (when counting numbers) and will allow you to book this property if any infants accompanying you take your guest numbers to higher than 10 guests. Unfortunately, our council regulations prohibit us from exceeding this number, including infants. If you do book for more than 10 guests, infants included, we will unfortunately need to cancel your booking and you will need to incur any fees we get charged.

This property is very close to the centre of Wanaka. There is no public transport in Wanaka so hiring a car is advised. Although due to the close walking distance this home offers to the Wanaka Township where you can easily hire bikes you may decide against car rental.

Once your booking is confirmed, you will be directed to our guest app. Prior to check-in, you will be required to complete an identity check by scanning your licence/passport and credit card before being provided with your arrival instructions. This provides security for the owners of the property so they are comfortable that you are who you say you are and you have the documents to prove it (similar to a hotel check-in procedure). We do not charge your card, nor does it get stored by our system, and you are welcome to block out some numbers, but please note that our Guest App has the highest level of PCI compliance available. This process is necessary due to the fact that we have a self-check-in system.
