Location was extraordinary, panoramic views were mesmerizing, place had everything we required. Host was amazing to be around with the 2 dogs. Dogs were super friendly, beautiful views with an amazing host with 2 dogs were highlight of the stay. Outdoor sitting was such a nice thing to have for dinner and breakfast. Photos do not do justice and gave a feeling as small, but it was big enough. Even room windows are at a right place to see the Sunrise from the bed and only 15 min away from Wanaka. Highly recommend to all the couples.

Very tasteful separate guest house in quiet residential area. The hosts live in the main house just above the guesthouse and are very welcoming. They will give you tips for local trips and dining options. There is a barbecue and we could use the bikes to ride into town. Loved the stay and the view and would definitely return if in Wānaka again.
