Rated 10.0 out of 10 by 12 guests who stayed here.
2 nights. We weren't there much. Considerate owner. Wine and note left to earn us of the Saturday evening party, which wasn't too bad.
Plant covering the 12a sign on the wall as we drove up.
Had nearly everything we needed. Was private, comfortable, quiet and not too far from town.
A barbecue would have been a useful addition.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Cottage was perfect, clean, well equipped and spacious. Lovely details such as fresh roses on the kitchentop. Beds were comfy, great for a longer stay. A bit away from everything, but…
Lovely bungalow. Clean, comfortable and a great base for Wanaka, trail walking etc.
Nothing.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
