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.

Allie, our host, was incredibly friendly and helpful and provided excellent information about the area. The furnishings and decor are quirky and fun, especially if you like Victoriana. We really enjoyed having our cup of tea and breakfast on the old-fashioned china while sitting at the charming breakfast table in the sunny bay window.

We loved the location of the house with views for miles, and walking distance to the Penguin colony. It was quaint and quirky yet clean, so comfortable and quiet at night. The owner Roger was friendly and welcoming, showing us around the whole house. The lounge area is huge with a large sunny balcony. It was such a nice spot to have breakfast. Only stayed one night, wish it was longer.

Well-appointed and comfortable unit with view of the grapevines from your patio. Bbq to cook an easy dinner and an assortment of breakfast items delivered to room...what is there not to like? Great hosts and a wine tasting of River Rock wines was a bonus. Great location to explore Cromwell area.

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.
