This is the second time that we have stayed at this property and we absolutely love it. It's so clean and tidy, very well set up and meets all of our needs. We are hoping to come and stay again a third time over the Christmas/New Year period this year too! Thank you so much for having us to stay a second time! ##### Belinda H.

Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful week in Wanaka The house suited our multi-generation needs very well with plenty of space, lots of bedrooms, two bathrooms, a relaxed family vibe and the wonderful hot tub. The only exception was a naughty washing machine that refused to cooperate, and an oven door that, similarly, didn't like shutting. The property manager tried her hardest to get things fixed over Easter and answered each query promptly.We managed workarounds, and would book the house again. ##### Kate C.
