We had 2 families of 8 people, were we had sufficient beds and bathrooms, kitchen was small however still functional for our needs. The kids enjoyed the pool table and bikes. Lovely walking track to take you to town. Our only concern was the hot water system was not sufficient for 8 people and there were ants in the kitchen. ##### Josephine H.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very pet friendly and with such a secure section our puppy was happy as outside. Kitchen well equipped and beautiful bathrooms. Our only issue was it was soooooo stinking hot in wanaka when we stayed that we had to buy fans and found sleeping up stairs too hot so we all had to go downstairs. But when I say it was hot it was extremely hot. And thats no fault to the owners. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone after a nice quiet place to stay close to town ##### TRACEY R.
