    Sound carried from the room next door.

    Great location and facilities run by friendly and knowledgable people. Breakfast was fresh and options were provided. The welcome cup of tea with Caroline was a lovely touch.

    Caroline and Suzie are amazing hosts and their B&B is the perfect spot for a stay in Wanaka. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, there was free parking, the town was a quick 5-10 min walk, and the breakfast was a nice way to start the day. They provided a warm welcome, and gave great recommendations for both food and sights.

    The parking area was tight, so Suzie let me park in the driveway.

    It was easy to find, my room was clean and comfortable, and Suzie and Caroline are lovely people! There were other guests from Ireland, France and Germany. Suzie and Caroline are UK expats, so we were quite the international group. I enjoyed the conversations I had with them all.

    Caroline and Suzie were a little surprised when we arrived as the room we stayed in is apparently only meant to be for solo travelers even though it has a queen sized bed. * You can only add one name for this room*. Not sure why this is, as it was perfectly adequate for us as a couple. They were very good about it all in the end though. Check which room you book.

    Location is pretty good, just a 10 minute walk into town. Breakfast was good as well. We were lucky to be sharing the place with some lovely people at the same time.

    northing to dislike

    Criffel Peak lies on the edge of the Wanaka Township which was ideal for meeting our needs, making it a quiet and most enjoyable place to stay. Caroline and Suzie are great hosts offering advice on what to do and where to go. Their breakfast was plentiful and most satisfying. The walk into the centre of Wannaka takes a good ten minutes plus and the town has a great deal to offer tourists. There is a plethora of cafe's bars and restaurants of varying degree set within a panoramic vista framed by the beautiful lake and nearby montains. Thus our stay at Criffel was ideal, easy to locate, comfortable and generously well priced. I would highly recommend.

    Breakfast options were great, especially if you’re a hungry person. Caroline was very welcoming when we arrived, she obviously works very hard to keep the place up to a high standard. Both Caroline and Suzi had extensive knowledge of the area and activities in various places.

    I adore this place. Suzie and Caroline were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They helped me to plan fun activities for my time in Wanaka, including hikes and restaurants. It was interesting to hear about the local area from them and they are really involved in the community. They were so lovely to chat to, when I left it felt like leaving friends. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable and had everything I needed, and the breakfasts were fab! I would highly recommend staying here.
