Relaxing retreat by the river



Modern, spacious and comfortable apartment in a mountain town ~ Perfect for up to 3 people.

You can rest and relax or use the apartment as your base for all of the outdoor activities that Wanaka is famous for, whether you dream of skydiving into paradise, climbing mountains, snow sports or enjoying water activities, this region has it all, every season of the year.



We love that Wanaka's best coffee is right on your doorstep, together with the pub & restaurant the locals choose, delicious patisserie, Four Square Supermarket, liquor store & laundrette. Wake up after a comfortable night's sleep to views of the mountains and the scent of fresh air, knowing that your accommodation is just a stone's throw away from exhilarating cycling trails and scenic routes.







Our mission is to surprise and delight! So, if you need any special amenities, portable cot, late check out or early check in, please just let us know and we will do our best for you.

Wanaka - a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It's the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests, and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are both 45 minutes away. In the winter months you will find our ski mountains a buzz with activity and in summer months we are all on the lakes (Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea).



While our outdoor scenery steals the show, our indoor attractions are just as exciting. If the weather isn't cooperating or you just need a day inside, check out Wanaka's range of indoor activities. From hitting the town for shopping and cinemas, or high energy pastimes, like swimming laps or climbing, to relaxing with yoga, a massage or spa pools. You can even get lost for fun at our famous Puzzling World. We don't let bad weather get in our way! Check out our galleries for local art you'll love.

Albert Town - a peaceful and picturesque community nestled on the heart of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Located just 5 minutes drive from the vibrant town of Wanaka, Albert Town offers a perfect blend of tranquility and easy access to local attractions.





Surrounded by stunning beauty, this is your time to relax & recharge after a long day on the mountains, cycling, walking or exploring gorgeous Wanaka. You are on the gateway to numerous trails with the Hawea River Track being a favourite for us! Looking for more of a challenge? You are also a short drive from the world-renowned Mt.Aspiring National Park, where adventure awaits.



Whether you're here to relax or seek adventure, Albert Town provides a serene base to experience the best of New Zealand's South Island. Enjoy the peace of the countryside with the convenience of nearby attractions, all while being surrounded by some the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

Great little apartment

Suited us perfectly as we dined out. Kitchen is quite small, might be challenging if you wanted to cook anything too complicated. Bed comfortable, good shower, warm and sunny.
