"Great location and unit overall.

I can’t remember if it was advertised as having permanent residents upstairs, however there are."

"Our stay at this apartment for our elopement week was memorable thanks to Pamela and her beautiful home.

This is not only because of the beautiful indoor and outdoor space, but also the care and attention to detail that that Pamela provided throughout our stay. As we searched for the ideal place to stay in Wanaka for multiple nights during our elopement week, this...

"We got a lake front room which was a real treat for us. Staff are really lovely and helpful. Sauna and hottub were appreciated after long hikes. No coffee machine in the room but their restaurant provides all day service with barista coffee and other drinks.
