Messaged owner, no acknowledgement of message. Generally the place needs decluttering and the rubbish wheelie bins outside could be emptied before they are overfull and smelly ##### Stella W. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tasha A. 23 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### An honest listing. A cute cottage which was so well resourced. The listing is honest. I've never rented a home that had absolutely everything we needed in terms of cleaning products, rubbish bags, plentiful supply of linen etc. A great stay. A slightly tricky lake access than the photos allude to. Ie, a car ride in order to access the lake to use the kayaks. ##### Tasha A. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara M. 7 Jan 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Overall, a good place to stay We stayed in the Lakefront Fantail house for four days in December. If I based my review on the first hour, it probably wouldn’t be favorable as there hadn’t been any housekeeping since the previous occupants. However, after a couple of calls to the owner and VRBO, things were straightened out (miscommunication with house keeper). We made up the bed ourselves with fresh sheets and towels for the bathroom. After that, we loved the place! The location is quiet with nice walks along the beach. It has a nice view of Lake Hawea, and is a short drive from Wanaka and wineries. If you like to cook, the kitchen is fantastic. All Le Cruset cookware, Smeg knives (best knives I’ve ever used in a rental), top notch appliances. Having a washer and dryer (when clothesline not fast enough) was also a plus. We would definitely come back! ##### Kara M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### tse 5 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness When we arrived that day, it was raining. The other room, which was supposed to be indoor, turned out to be in a bad condition. The sofa bed there was broken and the bedding was not clean. There were also numerous insects inside the standalone house. In the main living room, the dishwasher was filled with a pile of unwashed dishes, and the dryer had some damp clothes inside. Overall, the place gave an unpleasant and unhygienic impression. ##### tse Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mary M. 2 Mar 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised! Upon entering the rental we were assaulted with the smell of wet dirty dog covered with a bottle of air freshener. The carpets were not vacuumed, the sofa was dirty. The floors were all warped and uneven and popped loudly when you walked on them. The carpets were saggy and baggy and the large throw rug was bunched up against the wall and slider. More importantly, the lake view property as advertised with a beautiful view had so much bush over grown you could barely see the lake. The back yard consisted of five garbage cans, two picnic tables and a bbq in the far corner not a plant in sight. Because of the state of this rental we could not stay. We left the same night that we got there and drove another hour to get a hotel. I requested a refund via email and an email to VRBO no response. I was not able to text or call on my phone. Very disappointed!! ##### Mary M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth K. 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful location, some housekeeping issues Location was amazing. The lake view is stunning. Good space and fully stocked kitchen. Loved the BBQ. We were disappointed the kayaks pictured were not actually available to use. Consumables such as soap and toilet paper were in short supply. Linens left on the line when we arrived so we dried and put away for the host. Photos of listing could be updated. ##### Ruth K.
