Loved this place, great location, beautiful views and so comfortable. Lovely decorated and everything we needed for our overnight stay. Great communication, even a heads up to check in early if we wanted to. Lots to see and do in Wanaka. Great base for sightseeing!

Jen was an outstanding host- incredibly attentive, helpful and kind. Allowed us to drop our bags and ensured the room was ready as early as possible. The room was very clean too! There was so much detail/ thought put in the room - a great selection of complementary breakfast, tea and coffee, even though we didn't need it there was even an umbrella. Overall an outstanding stay - thank you very much for having us 😊

Featuring a hot tub and BBQ facilities, Altamont Lodge is just 1 km from Lake Wanaka. You can relax by the fireplace in the guest lounge, or enjoy a meal in the communal kitchen and dining area.

Loved how clean and tidy all of the spaces were! The beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect. Still on the pricey side for just a room and shared facilities, but that's Wanaka. I will stay here again for sure.

Offering a terrace and garden view, The Front Room is situated in Wanaka, 4.4 km from Puzzling World and 3.1 km from The Wanaka Tree.

The room is spacious, comfortable, and feels luxurious. A gorgeous home with a seperate space closed off for this Airbnb/booking.com room. There’s a walk in wardrobe that leads through to a large and beautiful bathroom. The bed is a king (possibly super king) and very comfortable! We stayed here for a wedding and it was a short drive to the venue and township. 10/10 perfect spot in Wānaka!

    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.

    Excellent, private, quiet. Just a quick drive down into town and Lake Wanaka. Ambistious guests could walk to town as well. Great hosts who left milk for us in the fridge. It was so helpful to have a washing machine, and there was excellent breeze and an extensive clothesline to dry the clothes.
