Access a bit tricky as its from the beach rd that has no name.

Stormy weather so the sea was wild but it didn't stop us going out. Plenty to do and see.

Wow on Wanaka

Absolutely amazing location. Sat on porch watching the waves roll in, watched the big ships coming in and out of the port. Quite area where we could watch the kids swim from the house. Loved it.

Really enjoyed our stay

Wonderful location and view. Very comfy beds and nice set up. Instructions to access the property were easy to understand and follow.The ants were a surprise, but I realise they can be difficult to get rid of. There were no flannels which I found a bit unexpected as all other places I've stayed these have been included with all the other linen.
