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!

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.

Lovely time in Fantail cabin was bigger than we thought does have a view or the lake but it is affected by by vegetation fine for us though. Cabin had everything we needed and there is a shop within walking distance, extra small sleepout if you need it in separate building. This is an area of holiday homes and was quiet in December when we stayed, set above the la

This is a well appointed and spacious property with stunning lake views and is a good location to stay! However I confirmed by text my arrival the day before and was given key-code instructions and a confirmation. When I arrived the property had not been cleaned from the previous stay. I thought i resolved the situation by speaking to the property owner who offered to remove the $90 cleaning fee, we stripped the sheets and made the beds. I received a $60 refund not the $90 offered by the owner in the voice conversation. If they sort out the cleaning issues it will be a great property to use.

Everything you need
This property had everything you need for a stay away from home. We loved the quiet location but still not too far from restaurants and sites we wanted to visit. The house could benefit from a deeper clean and some more up to date photos in the listing.

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.
