Entire house with tranquil garden, cosy and private, by the river
Surrounded by stunning mountains and three beautiful rivers this lovely home is private, peaceful and relaxing with a large fully fenced outdoor area and tranquil veranda looking out across the reserve. Situated in old established Albert Town with more space and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka but only a 5 - 10 minute drive.
Walking and mountain-biking tracks are literally out the front and back doors! Great fishing, swimming and boating, this is a special place. It’s a five minute walk to the Albert Town store, famous Pembroke Patisserie, restaurant and bar and a five minute drive to Wanaka township. Ski fields are 45 minutes drive, Lake Wanaka 5 - 10 minutes drive and Lake Hawea 15 minutes drive.
Comfortable beds and sofas, a great woodburner plus heatpump/air con make this a great house for both winter and summer. Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives and a dishwasher. Two fridge/freezers, laundry with washer and dryer plus both an iron and steamer. Gas hot water, great showers and a full sized bath.
Very comfortable and clean with contemporary furniture and quality bedding with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and toilets, a large private back yard with plenty of relaxing outdoor furniture, BBQ, apple and peach trees.

Lovely spot, great house and dog friendly, even a dog park behind the property. Great walk outside your door. Communication great with host. Recommend the stay
Beautiful property with amazing gardens and outdoor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Richelle was great to deal with and was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again, thank you for sharing your home with us.
Great location to drive and see a bit of the region or just walk out the front door and do the beautiful river walk. Very dog friendly neighbourhood. Close to ski fields and Wanaka. House very tidy and easy to get cosy in the winter.
Perfect getaway for our family.
This is our 2nd stay at this house and again it provided everything we needed for our family holiday. There is plenty of space for us to be comfortable. It is located in a lovely quiet area near the river.
Everything about this property was excellent - location, communication with Richelle, perfect for our wee dog with full fencing, house inside and out was just right. The little touch with the fresh rosemary on the windowsill in the kitchen just finished it off!
House is located close to the Clutha river and walkways. Great size for two couples, two children and our family dogs.
Warm and well equiped - would definitely book again if available.
We absolutely loved our stay at this peaceful, family-friendly property near the Clutha River. The house had a great layout and a large fenced yard, perfect for pets and children. The garden was beautiful, and the log burner made evenings warm and cozy.The location was ideal, close to both Wānaka but still quiet and rural. Being right by the river was a highlight; we took the dinghy out several times and loved exploring. There’s a huge walking trail and dog park just outside the door. It’s also really close to some great rock climbing areas, which was a bonus!The kitchen was well equipped, the gas hot water endless, and the home had everything we needed for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway. We’d definitely stay again!
The host very kindly allowed us to bring our Two wee dogs. The house and property were great, everything you could need was supplied. Highly recommend this property.
Great property in Albert Town. Lots of rooms! Thank you
