This was an amazing property. It fit our group of 6 with enough room for everyone to have their own space. There were 2 full bathrooms! And even a washer and a dryer. This was a huge bonus so that we were able to catch up with laundry for the rest of our holiday.

Our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was very spacious with the choice of a king bed or twin singles in each bedroom. A garage with automatic door was included but it was a snug fit for our small SUV. There are lovely views of the mountains from the living areas and spacious balcony but nearby construction works detracted from the overall environment. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were clean but one of the beds was uncomfortable and quite low. There are quite a few stairs at the entry to the apartment but once you are upstairs, everything is on the one level.

Nice place, friendly and professional people. HOWEVER, the same cannot be said for WOTIF: this agency is non-communicative and ignores emails. If you have a booking issue, cancellation or similar, don't hold your breath waiting for WOTIF to respond: they won't. The hotel's advice is: they, themselves cannot deal with bookings made directly with WOTIF: fair enough. Based on our experience, we wont book anything through WOTIF / EXPEDIA.

Great space with amazing views
We had a great stay. The location is convenient with a nice path to walk into town but it’s not super close. We arrived late for check in and they left an envelope with all the information on how to get into the apartment. There is plenty of space with a beautiful well-stocked kitchen. The views are incredible.

While the room was perfect . The pool and spa were infested with bees. When we went back to reception we were told ‘ they are bees are we have reported them ‘ , this was after we asked about the pool ( where it was in location to our room ). We were told to use the other pool - which also had loads of ‘ bees’. When speaking with other guests - they told us they were wasps. So no spa available . I’d argue that it was unsafe for anyone - and should have been informed of that during checkin. Also no parking in front of our room. Meh - stay was ok but could have been better

Very nice spot. 5 min drive from town. Four facilities with parking and garage shared garden. We were unfortunately allocated a room with 2 x single rather than a double as expected, and had to chase the high chair we requested. Tv didn't work during rain, which may be important for some. Would definitely come back

Great to have your own garage however could not be used as a large vehicle was parked so would have been difficult to exit. Could not use pool or games room and spa as an entire group of people had taken over the entire space.

Awsome service
Beautiful location 5 min drive into township, receptionist was very friendly and we were up graded!!! Bed a 2bdrm apartment arrived and got told we are in a 3 bedroom apartment. Was stoked with the upgrade thanks. Great view from our balcony, beds super comfy. the only negative was our girls struggled to find a spot with decent wifi, best spots in apartment were on the stairs or in one of the bedrooms wardrobes haha, not an issue for us adults. Def would recommend and if we come back to Wanaka would be our first pick thanks
