Central with Lake and mountain views.
Great location with fantastic views and a lovely deck. Very comfortable, well equipped and perfect for a group of 4. Would definitely come back!

Lake Hawea Escape
Wow! Everything about Kelly and Craig's Escape is wonderful. Clear instructions. Spotlessly clean. Beautifully appointed. Comfortable bed. Excellent heating - heat pump and the best little fire. Not to mention the under floor heating in the bathroom. Cooking facilities with all the tools you need, if you want a night in. Lovely private grounds, with the bonus of an awesome hot tub. A short 15 minute drive into Wanaka. My husband and I wouldn't hesitate staying again. Thanks Kelly and Craig.

The Essence of Cromwell

Easy Wānaka Getaway
Madison was a wonderful host! She graciously allowed us to check in early, provided great recommendations and was very responsive! The home was beautiful and relaxing after hiking all day! Thanks for the hospitality!

Prime positioned Lake House in Stunning Lake Hawea
A very comfortable home next to Lake Hawea, you can literally walk to the lake from the backyard of the house. The Lake view is stunning in the morning. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so suitable for family travel. Everything you need is there, BBQ, washing machine, drying machine. All in all, a very comfortable place to stay.

The Lookout: Lake Views
The view is amazing. Beds are comfortable. Owner is responsive and easy to communicate.

Farm Cottage Charm
We loved staying in this home. The upstairs bedrooms and bathroom had stunning views, there was plenty of living space for the family and the kitchen was large and practical. The home is in a very convenient location and is walking distance of the town centre. We would highly recommend Ron’s house to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful Wānaka.

Lakefront Luxury @ Pisa
The house was terrific, spotlessly clean and attractive with a beautiful view out to the water from the living area. It is a quiet area, the beds are super comfy and everything felt thought through and welcoming. If we were staying for longer we would have certainly pottered off along the walkway beside the water. Wendy was very friendly and I would definitely stay again.

Lakefront View Apartment with Sauna
Really beautiful spot just a few steps away from the main center of restaurants and shops. Great angle to view the lake and mountains — the owners suite on the second floor had a nice view, and then the third floor had a stunning view (which was nice with the open concept between living/dining room). The sauna was a fun touch too! We juuust barely managed to fit our 2 cars into the garage, but might not be doable if your cars are on the larger side.

Studio on Kings
We had a lovely stay at Megan’s place. Perfect for two, looked exactly like the pictures. The studio was clean and was exactly what we needed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Megan was quick at responding and allowed us to check out later with no issues:))

Relaxing Getaway
Townhouse was a great place to stay for our visit to Wanaka. Unit has everything you need, very clean and comfortable. It is just a short walk across the carpark to great coffee and pastries from Pembroke Patisserie and Albies Tavern.

Sunrise Bay serenity.
Lots of space in the place. Quiet side of town. We had some lovely walks from the place. The scones Edgewater were amazing! Wanaka is a beautiful town.

Bay Rise Lakeside Apartment
Beautiful location and accomodation, would stay again in a heartbeat!

Albert Town Oasis, your home away from home
Love staying at these Apartments right on the beautiful Clutha River trails and right next door to our favourite cafe the Pembroke Patisserie, Albie Tavern & Takeaways right there, Four Square and laundry mat, so everything you need on your doorstep. Very close to Wanaka town and the beautiful Lake Hāwea.

Historic Clyde cottage, restored & welcoming
We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

Clee Cottage – Main Cottage+Cottage 2 with ensuite
We had a fabulous stay at Clee Cottage. It is a beautiful place, perfectly located at Bremner Bay on Lake Wanaka. The house is charming, comfortable, very well equipped and set in beautiful gardens. Gorgeous place!

We had a great stay here. Lovely place, warm, well appointed. Nice homely feel. Easy access to the surrounding areas. Would definitely stay again. Thanks

Bellhaven
We had another fantastic stay with Ray and Deb in Cromwell, our second time staying with them while in town for an agility show. Their house is in a perfect spot, just a 10-minute walk to the Stoaker Room for dinner, and close to many walkways leading to the lake. The accommodation is always clean and comfortable, with beds that guarantee a great night's sleep and everything we need to feel at home. Deb is absolutely lovely and makes us feel so welcome every time. It's the little things that make such a difference, and their place has truly become our favourite spot to stay in Cromwell. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Clee Cottage – Main Cottage only.
