"We were very comfortable in this accommodation. The host Catherine was super, very friendly and accommodating. We had a dog trailer and needed to park off street.

1970's Renovated,self contained 2 bedroom bach

"The property was very comfortable. It was in a quiet and pleasant location, with only a short walk to the lake. We were made to feel at home by Angela our host from the very outset. Angela gave us some really helpful suggestions about places to see. The bach was perfect for our group of 3 with all our needs supplied. If (when) we return to Wanaka we would not hesitate to stay here again. "

Cute Cottage with Hot Tub & Uninterrupted Lake Views

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (28)
"Such a great place to relax and chillout for a week. Great views across the lake and to the mountains, particularly from the spa which was such a treat. It was great having the wood fire which we used a couple of times. Loved that it was close to Queenstown and far from the maddening tourists. Loved the fresh herbs to cook with. Definitely recommend to all and we have booked in again for 2025."

The Tui Studio - Te Anau Holiday Studio

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"Everything about this place was lovely. Clean, tidy and very comfortable bed! Nice to have the outside furniture to sit at too as the weather was great on two days. A couple of things I felt the owner could consider was some kind of light over bathroom mirror as very dark for putting on makeup and a blind over bathroom window. Even though it’s opaque you feel exposed with light on. 😜 these are additions though and would only enhance an already lovely place. Would definitely stay here again"

"We rented a suite. It was a bit on the small side, but had everything we needed. We even had a washer and dryer (free) that we were able to access right outside our door. We were about a ten minute drive to downtown Queenstown. Be sure to take the gondola up the mountain for a beautiful view of the city. If you are adventurous ride the luge down the mountainside. It was safe and fun! In the evening go into town and walk along the water. Outdoor cafes, bars, and live music. It was...
