Hostess was very friendly and the small apartment is just perfect, with a small lovely garden, comfy big bed, spotless bathroom. She left me orange juice, milk, rolls and tea and coffee. Great and highly recommended.

Extremely clean and comfortable with a quiet, ski chateau vibe. The owners were lovely and very helpful. We would happily stay here again.

Featuring a garden, Little Lodge Wanaka provides accommodations in Wanaka. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house.

There is everything we could have asked for in the rooms. Cleanliness is there. Very spacious. Although not directly in Wanaka, we are believed this is a lot better value as we have the car anyway.

Lovely comfortable stay easily accessible from the centre of Wānaka and with all amenities thought of - we were only able to make one night but slept wonderfully (the bed is amazing!) and were fresh for the next leg of our trip!

    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.
