Fully Contained Studio (sleeps 3) & Spa Pool

GiancaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Stayed with my small family in Sarah’s place. She was pleasant to chat with and was very flexible with our accommodation. The stay was very comfortable and peaceful in the area. The place was clean and we used if not all, most of the amenities and what was stated was definitely available. Parking near the stay was very good bec it was raining that time. My son and I even tried the hot spa which we enjoyed very much after a trip around. We would definitely book again SOON! Thank you very much Sarah. ❤️

Outdoor Bath - Stylish Studio Near Poderi Crisci

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Had a great 4 night stay in “Clint Eastwood” (unit one). Beautiful and stylish space and extremely comfortable. The outside decking allowed us to follow the sun during the day. We self catered for 3 days and would recommend thinking about meal planning for stove top and microwave (no oven). We loved our long lunch at Poderi Crisci (only 10 minutes walk away), and morning coffee at Island Coffee (7:30-12noon). Both Jackie and Nicola were really responsive. Overall an exceptional accommodation.

Romantic Vineyard getaway, hot tub & awesome views

MalcolmRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a lovely night at George’s Road Winepod. We were welcomed with a tasting by the beautiful owners - and tour of the winery. The Winepod and hot tub were simply excellent. We paid extra for dinner, but breakfast was included and this was all so wonderful and tasty. Our only sadness is that we did not stay for longer. Hoping to be back again for a longer stay. We would thoroughly recommend.

Secluded Wanaka Couples Escape

StephanieRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. We picked this property for the location, and it didn't disappoint. The cabin was well set out, comfortable, had everything we needed and the outdoor bath was the cherry on top. We had 2 perfectly clear and cool nights which made the perfect setting for star gazing from the tub. Beautiful peaceful property, but just a short drive to Wānaka for anything you need. Will absolutely be back

Misty River Retreat

JodieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place was “the bomb” according to my children. The alpacas, sheep, cows, ducks you name it kept the kids well entertained. After a long drive we stretched our legs waking around the property. With a fully self-contained kitchen we made a home cooked meal. The floor to ceiling glass windows looking out to nature was just beautiful. If only we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Was a great little stay for a couple of days. Would go for a stroll down the main street which was full of history great places to eat and lovely people. On those cold nights the fire place was great and really warmed the place up making it feel cosy and a true home away from home!
