Wow. What a stunning location and fabulous house with beautiful views. We loved our stay here. We enjoyed several bbq’s on the sunny patio. The kitchen is really well equipped for self catering. It’s very spacious with lots of places to unpack properly. We were slightly concerned when told that there was building work going on nearby. Although they are building a house directly in front of the property it doesn’t block the view and the noise didn’t disturb us when we were in during the day. I would highly recommend Heather’s place. We will definitely be back.- Anonymous , Stayed

A Magical Winter Stay with Breathtaking Lake Views
We felt so lucky to stay in this stunning lake-view house for a month this winter. The kids loved having their own study room, cozy nights enjoying marshmallows by the fireplace, and even relaxing on the swing chair out on the balcony. It was the perfect place for our family to enjoy ski season together. We also really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen — it made it easy to cook and enjoy delicious local food. Thank you to the lovely host for the warm hospitality and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back next time!- X H , Stayed July 2025Was wonderful having you stay this winter and hope to see you again one day soon.- Wanaka Holiday Homes staff, Posted July 2025
