My first words when walking into this apartment was “wow”. Immaculate with modern new furniture and spectacular views of Lake Wānaka. Incredible location. The kitchen had new appliances and had all of the necessary items to cook a nice dinner. Perfection!

Really beautiful spot just a few steps away from the main center of restaurants and shops. Great angle to view the lake and mountains — the owners suite on the second floor had a nice view, and then the third floor had a stunning view (which was nice with the open concept between living/dining room). The sauna was a fun touch too! We juuust barely managed to fit our 2 cars into the garage, but might not be doable if your cars are on the larger side.

Loved Leigh’s place - it was clean, tidy and really peaceful. I felt right at home. Great spot to walk around to quieter bits of Lake Wānaka to enjoy the views and swim. Would definitely visit again!

We had an amazing stay at Annie's apartment in Wanaka! The place is modern, beautifully decorated, and very cozy with great heaters and ambient lighting. The view was stunning, and we were within walking distance to shops, cafes, and restaurants. Annie was incredibly accommodating, allowing us an early check-in and being so understanding when we accidentally broke a glass. They also made sure the heaters were on before we arrived, which made the place extra comfortable. We really appreciated the milk and tea provided, which we made good use of. If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Wanaka, this is definitely the place to go!

Even more beautiful than the pictures. The balcony is sublime and it’s a short walk to the downtown restaurants on a very pleasant boardwalk. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the complex property.

SusanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A very cosy cottage. We loved the river views, watching the kids fishing. Its a great location - easy walk to shops and cafes, easy access to the rail trail. Super comfy beds. Very well equipped kitchen with good size fridge freezer. Lynley was a great host and always responded quickly to our messages. I will definitely be recommending this accommodation to our friends and family visiting Alexandra.

TerryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A very comfortable home next to Lake Hawea, you can literally walk to the lake from the backyard of the house. The Lake view is stunning in the morning. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so suitable for family travel. Everything you need is there, BBQ, washing machine, drying machine. All in all, a very comfortable place to stay.

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The house was terrific, spotlessly clean and attractive with a beautiful view out to the water from the living area. It is a quiet area, the beds are super comfy and everything felt thought through and welcoming. If we were staying for longer we would have certainly pottered off along the walkway beside the water. Wendy was very friendly and I would definitely stay again.
