Elevated Mountain Views

Lovely home, close to town centre but in a quiet street. Big house with enough private & shared spaces for a group of 5 adults. Kitchen had everything we needed. Master suite was very comfortable and at the other end of the house from the other 2 bedrooms

Great stay thank you

- James , Stayed March 2026 (Airbnb)

Easy access to town, plenty to do. Great home and quite.

- Roger , Stayed February 2026 (Airbnb)

The photos for this place do not do the property justice, the space is much larger than shown and the facilities and cleanliness first class. we had a brilliant stay here and would thoroughly recommend this accomodation to anyone visiting Wanaka, 5 stars all round.

- David , Stayed February 2026 (Airbnb)

Great location, spacious modern house. Very good communication from host, and thoughtfully pre-emptively sorted an issue with the freezer so it was not a problem.

- Aaron , Stayed February 2026 (Airbnb)

Heathers place was fabulous- love DC the v layout with two bedrooms rooms on one half the house and main bedroom on other half. Very large space to gather in the middle. Very well stocked kitchen. Great patio, beautiful views and close to restaurants, pubs, bike shops and bus. Easy to get right into town, you do have a good pitch up the street getting back, but there is a big set of public stairs you can take to make it easier. Beds very comfy. Heather was very quick to respond and proactive regarding info about the property. Definitely recommend staying!!

Great location walking distance to town. Comfortable and clean with great views of the lake and mountains. Loved our stay.

- Erica , Stayed December 2025 (Airbnb)

This house had all the wonderful amenities and then some we could hope for in our 6 night stay in Wanaka. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was comfortably furnished. The biggest highlight was all the wonderful windows and sliding glass doors of the home. We especially loved how the master bedroom was set up with sliding glass doors on both sides of the room so you can open both up at the same time to get a nice cross breeze while relaxing in bed. The only thing we recommend for the doors and windows are screens to keep the bugs out, but it wasn’t too much of an issue. We loved waking up to the beautiful view of Lake Wanaka and New Zealand’s unique bird sounds. The shower and heated bathroom floors didn’t hurt either! We would love to stay here again whenever we are able to return to New Zealand and Wanaka!

Don't let the photos fool you- we thought we were booking a little cabin and were so pleasantly surprised to check into this extremely spacious, beautiful home! The generous sized living room was so appreciated when some rainy weather kept us indoors with our toddler. The home was immaculately clean, particularly the bathrooms which were very modern and looked brand new. It was a 5 minute walk to town (1 little hill or a staircase to get there), so a very convenient location. There was a lovely view from the large deck. The only thing to mention is there is an internal staircase leading to a garage (not for use). It's probably stated in the listing but we missed that so just had to be cautious with our toddler. You can close off the living room so it wasn't a big issue at all. Heather was extremely communicative and a great host. Thank you for having us! We would definitely return.

- Alexandra , Stayed November 2025 (Airbnb)

Great house. Would definitely stay again

- Lucy , Stayed November 2025 (Airbnb)

Everything was perfect

- Malcolm , Stayed November 2025 (Booking)

Great place to stay, I recommend it.

- Gabriel , Stayed November 2025 (Airbnb)

My husband, my daughter and I had the best time in Wanaka! And let me just repeat what my husband said: If all Airbnb wore like Heather’s place we would never book a hotel room again! I totally recommend this place! We loved it!! Thank you Heather!

- Marta , Stayed October 2025 (Airbnb)

It was very spacious and clean. It was very cold when we were there and the heating worked great though in summer I think the bedrooms could get very hot as they don’t have air conditioning. Also it was close to town.
All AirB&Bs I have been in previously leave a starter pack of milk and teabags etc. which after a long drive would be really helpful but apart from that it was excellent. I would definitely recommend Heather’s place.

- Stewart , Stayed October 2025 (Airbnb)

Great rental.

- Greg , Stayed September 2025 (Vrbo)

Great stay! Stunning views!

- Jacob , Stayed September 2025 (Airbnb)

What a fantastic place in the heart of Wanaka! Super spacious & clean, and only a 5 minute walk into town. It’s even better than the photos! Would definitely stay again, thank you Heather!

- Renee , Stayed August 2025 (Airbnb)

Great location and house with a great kitchen.

- Rosey , Stayed August 2025 (Airbnb)

Great house, modern, comfortable and warm. Really close to the town. Highly recommend it!

- Lyndsay , Stayed August 2025 (Airbnb)

a fantastic home, a short walk from the centre of Wanaka. the home is bigger than it looks in the photos - large living area for a 3 bedroom home. Kitchen was fantastically appointed with everything we needed and more. we were plenty warm enough in the middle of winter with the two heat pumps.

- James , Stayed August 2025 (Airbnb)

We stayed at Elevated Mountain Views during a short ski trip to Wanaka. Great house! Spotlessly clean, spacious, beautifully furnished and equipped, and a perfect location just a short walk to the town centre. Highly recommended.

- Gareth , Stayed July 2025 (Airbnb)

Very nice house in a great location to central Wanaka
Everything was fine

- Dave , Stayed July 2025 (Booking)

We loved our stay, the view of the mountains from the house was stunning. The place was big and all we need is in the house, we didn’t want to leave the house as we are so comfortable inside.

- Athea Marisse , Stayed June 2025 (Airbnb)

Comfortable, warm and clean home. Plenty of space and ideal for two couples sharing. Close to all facilities, we enjoyed our stay and it met all our expectations.

- Wendy , Stayed May 2025 (Airbnb)

Brilliant location, large rooms, excellent for 2 couples travelling together. Wonderful amenities and quality fittings. Thanks Heather for sharing your Wanaka home with us.

- Gillian , Stayed May 2025 (Airbnb)

Heather was very communicative and the house was extremely spacious and clean. House came with some secret amenities on top of the ones that were mentioned and the whole experience was very impressive. Town centre was walkable distance and there is a clear view of lake Wanaka. If you're in the South Island of New Zealand please visit this small town, the sheer beauty will leave you speechless.

- Rubayet , Stayed April 2025 (Airbnb)

What a great house. A large, modern, beautifully built home with views over the lake and mountains and only a 5 minute walk to the town centre and lake. Really well set up with good facilities. And the price was very good in comparison with other places on our trip. Would definitely recommend. Only one small hiccup with the cleaners still there when we arrived (which was after the agreed access time).

- Nigel , Stayed April 2025 (Airbnb)

Absolutely perfect second stay there

- Braeden , Stayed April 2025 (Airbnb)

Absolutely loved our stay. The house was modern, spacious, had absolutely everything we needed and was a prime location. Would 100% recommended for all families travelling to Wanaka.

- Samantha , Stayed February 2025 (Airbnb)

We are a group of 5 friends who stayed at this air bnb. It has a lovely balcony and view of lake Wanaka. The living room is large, as is the master bedroom. This place is a very handy location, being a 2-minute walk to restaurants and cafes, and a 6-minute walk to lake Wanaka. We would recommend this place.

- Tessa , Stayed January 2025 (Airbnb)

Outstanding accomodation! Very spacious and so clean. Close to town, yet quiet.
Would recommend and would revisit.

- Tony , Stayed November 2024 (Airbnb)

My favorite AirB&B so far. Great location, quiet spot by a park, but also a very short walk to an awesome downtown and lakeside park. Home had two beautiful bathrooms, which was a nice. Everything was clean and well furnished. Well stocked and clean kitchen too. Enjoyed relaxing on the large deck with nice view.

- Collin , Stayed November 2024 (Airbnb)

Great place and highly recommended.

- Anselm , Stayed September 2024 (Airbnb)

Spacious, well appointed and fantastic location. Love Wanaka and this house was in the perfect location for access to shops and dining. Beautiful views of the lake and plantation across the road.

- Nick , Stayed September 2024 (Airbnb)

Great house; super clean; spacious and warm; all mod cons; great position close to town but quiet.

- Lyndsay , Stayed August 2024 (Airbnb)

We loved the location next to a reserve with fantastic mountain views and all day sunshine. The home is warm either by the sun or easily heated with 2 heat pumps. The home was spacious for our family of 5 with a well equiped kitchen.

- Jodi , Stayed August 2024 (Airbnb)

Exceptional
The kitchen had EVERYTHING. Loved the terrace and the views, and our family enjoyed playing several rounds of disc golf at the park right across the street. The house doesn't have central heating (only heat pumps in the common areas) but had clean, comfortable beds and plenty of warm blankets. There's a garage that's currently being used for storage but we never had problems or difficulty parking in front along the street.

- Henry , Stayed July 2024 (Booking)

Fantastic house in the centre of town. Kitchen is well stocked and house is spacious and modern. It’s clean, comfortable and warm, has everything you need. Also has amazing views of the mountains in every direction. Will definitely be back.

- Ben , Stayed August 2024 (Airbnb)

This was a very comfortable and easy to stay in house. We loved the location of the Airbnb. It’s steps away from great family-friendly restaurants (The Cow and Red Star are favorites) I would definitely recommend for families.

- Madeline , Stayed July 2024 (Airbnb)

The family absolutely loved this property during their stay in Wanaka. Perfect location and had everything you needed. Would highly recommend!

- Make A Wish , Stayed July 2024 (Airbnb)

Stunning House with Views to match!
Well what can we say.... We loved our stay here. We are a family group of 4 adults and 2 teens. The house is beautiful, spacious, well equipped, clean and modern. We ate in one night and found everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen. The views from the veranda were stunning at any time of day but esp at sunset with pink skies over the water. Shower water pressure was a little low. Parking is road side, but we didn't have an issue at all during our stay to get one. The location of the house is very close to the town center and the waterfront, 5 to 10 mins walk down hill (the road to get onto the road where the house is VERY steep). We recommend Bombay Palace for an Indian, ate outside with views over the lake, very enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Wanaka.

- Philip , Stayed April 2024 (Vrbo)

We loved this accommodation. Functional and close to everything.

- Nicole , Stayed February 2024 (Airbnb)

Amazing location! Private and quiet but within walking distance to plenty of shops as well as the lake. We felt right at home and would love to stay here again.

- Patricia , Stayed February 2024 (Airbnb)

We were very comfortable in this spacious house. Kitchen was very well equiped and the bedroom and bathrooms at opposite ends of the house worked perfectly for two couples. It is an easy walk to the shops and eating places around the lake.

- Bernadette , Stayed (Airbnb)

Perfect place for a wanaka holiday
Couldn’t have asked for a better place for a family of 6 adults. Super clean and all the amenities you’d want and need. Location is perfect with a lovely lake view from the huge deck and so close to town that we could easily walk down the stairs into town for coffee or a meal. Can’t think of anything more we could need or want in holiday accommodation- maybe a pack of cards or some board games if we wanted a break from devices or tv - but we’re really scraping to find something lol. Would def stay here again.

- Natalie B. , Stayed (Vrbo)

We had a wonderful time in Wanaka at Heather’s accommodation. The house was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The location to the main town was superb and yet very private and quiet. Check in and check out were very easy. I highly recommend and plan on staying here again in the future!

- Elizabeth , Stayed (Airbnb)

Exceptional
Everything. A fabulous place, clean with a great layout. Had everything you could ever need in an outstanding location. We will be back!

Heather and the team were super responsive to any questions and thank you for the later check out!

- Nathan , Stayed November 2023 (Airbnb)

One of the best holiday rentals we have ever stayed in. Less than 5 minutes walk to the centre of Wanaka. The property was very clean and as a new build, everything is in great condition. Amazing views and in a very quiet location. Heather was quick to respond and also very flexible with check-in, which was very much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again should we visit the area in future.

- Stephen , Stayed November 2023 (Airbnb)

Great place
Amazing house, felt brand new with everything we needed. Great location. Completely loved our week here. We will look to book this place again if available.

Amazing place to stay in Wanaka, just a short walk (5 Min) to city center and a beautiful home with an great equipped kitchen. Great for a family but also worked for just the two of us.

- Ariane , Stayed March 2023 (Airbnb)

Great spot for catch up with family for wedding. Would easily book again.
well set out and very comfortable Not a wide parking strip on road but no real drama

- David , Stayed February 2023 (Booking)

Heather’s place was AMAZING! Such a great spot, walkable into town and down to the lake. Beautiful mountain and lake views as well. The place was spotless with amazing amenities - the kitchen was really well equipped with lots of appliances. We hope to be back again soon!

- James , Stayed February 2023 (Airbnb)

Perfectly located with an excellent view. Very spacious, great amenities, luxe experience - ver much recommended.
Only one question: why so many pairs of scissors?! We counted 14.

- Sam , Stayed February 2023 (Airbnb)

Wanaka Holiday Homes was incredibly responsive and helped proactively address and resolve an unforeseen issue at this rental property during our stay. We realized that it is SO worth booking through them to ensure a high standard at a quality rental property. It was beautiful, well equipped, all new pans, every appliance and gadget you could think of in the kitchen, huge TV, big windows for lots of light and nice views, walking distance to town/lake. The main room, bathrooms and master bedroom were larger than I expected from the photos. The A/C didn’t quite reach into the bedrooms, so they were a bit warm at night if you weren’t able to cool the rooms down before dark. (The mosquitos were a bit ferocious when we tried leaving the windows open at night.) Again, massive thanks to Wanaka Holiday Homes for helping address and resolve the hiccup we encountered at this property.

- Katie , Stayed January 2023 (Airbnb)

Amazing property. Beautiful view from decking. Really high quality rental.

- Rhiannon , Stayed December 2022 (Airbnb)

Great house in great location
We were so surprised on arrival - the pictures do not do this house justice. Home was very clean and great layout for 3 couples. Generous size in all rooms and kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely book again. Our only criticism (small) is that more mirrors were required, especially when it is for couples or families with older children, as there were only two mirrors in both bathrooms and when you are getting ready in the mornings they take too much time because there is only the one mirror. There is plenty of room in each bedroom, toilet or hallway for mirrors.
