John did a great job with this apartment unit. It really feels like a home, with all the things you need, not just a hotel. We loved sitting on the patio and out back (2 different areas to relax outside) and just listening to the Tui and Fantails...

This was a great place for us. Near to Wanaka centre but far enough away to be nice and quiet. Lovely surroundings. Everything we needed for a short stay. Lovely comfortable bed.

John was a wonderful and friendly host. He met us to show us to the property even though we arrived late outside of the check in window, and he also popped down to say goodbye and make sure that we had a good time when we left. The unit is comfy...

We love Wanaka. And this location was perfect for us to stay in a quiet place all to ourselves while we were in the town. It was very easy to check-in (John met us when we arrived on the property to hand over the keys and show us around the place)...

Nestled within a well known six-acre garden, this very private unit has everything you need for a cozy, relaxing stay in beautiful Wanaka. It has a real "being out in the country feeling" while being only a few minutes from the Lake and the township. COMING FOR THE SKI SEASON? We are situated close to the main roads out to the two ski fields. You have your own garage and also a specifically built drying room to give you warm gloves and boots in the morning! About the space This purpose-built country hideaway was once an old nursery shed that's been transformed into a gorgeous self-contained unit. With modern finishings but a cozy country feel, you'll have your own private escape.
My wife Kate and I are parents to three grown boys. We love spending time with family and having a laugh. We have lived on our property in Wanaka for over 20-years. Both avid gardeners (we used to own and run the local Wanaka nursery) we absolutely love our beautiful town - we know you'll love it too.
Wanaka, a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It's the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests, and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are near the park.
