It's pretty basic and not the most modern house but had everything we needed for our stay around Wanaka. Beds were comfy, water pressure was nice, and the kitchen well equipped. The booking, checkin, and the communication were easy and reliable. ##### Poldi K. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alastair C.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### debra J., Tauranga Aug 12, 2022 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Rustic old time bach Bach was pretty much as expected. Great to experience a real original bach / crib. Basic and rustic. Lots of games, heating, good shower and running water. Could do with a bit of a clean. New mop head needed. Detergent would have been good first night. Left some for the next person. Check in process not ideal with a wait, after phoning having waited 20min. With a 3pm would think the small place would be ready. Manager came with extra wood during week which was really appreciated. Adequate for our needs and comfy enough. Easy to heat which was fab. ##### debra J. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kirstin L.

Comfy bed too. ##### Kirstin L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Les B.
