Mar 4, 2019 #### Location for Wanaka and the lake was great from here and Rippon... Location for Wanaka and the lake was great from here and Rippon winery at the end of the road is well worth a visit if only for the spectacular view. Accomodation itself is basic and bach like but perfectly comfortable but on the warm side with no aircon. My only gripe would be that there is a charge for cleaning but didnt find it particularly clean in the first place. Despite this i think it good value accomodation for the area.. ##### Gavin M. ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie M.

The cottage is in a great location, just a street above Wanaka Station Park. We loved being at that end of the Lake...the trail...and the park. The house is in a quiet location, and very comfortable. My only advice would be to brighten it up a bit with a few cushions on the dark couches. I put my sarongs on back of couches, bought yellow lilies for table, and pulled the lovely wicker chairs in to the area to make it cozy. A couple of outdoor chairs for fab yard would be nice too!
