We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely home. Perfectly situated to walk the lake or to town. Fully appointed kitchen and comfortable living room. Bedrooms and bathrooms also very nice. Laundry and parking in garage a plus! Would stay here again if ever back in NZ
It was great being just across the road from the playground and lake for our little ones (3 & 4 years) and easy enough walking distance to town to get the ever important ice creams. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend.
The home is very well equipped and extremely comfortable. Well situated beside the lake and close enough for a comfortable stroll into the town centre.Altogether one of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed in - well done!
We stayed at this property with another couple. The home had everything you would need to prepare a meal, is well appointed, comfy beds and a great location. Thank you!!
This house in Wanaka was a dream location for our group. A short and lovely stroll into town, and right across from the lake. The house itself is very well appointed with everything you need. It is extremely comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful little town. The house was in a great location, walking distance to the shops and restaurants and a great outlook over the lake.
I highly recommend!
This amazing house was everything it was listed as. Great size bedrooms with wardrobes and an awesome open plan living, dining and kitchen area, which was well stocked. Room to park two cars off the road which was brilliant. The location was super handy to town and the lakefront was just across the road. Thank you McFarlane family for giving us the use of your house, it was perfect.
Ate breakfast every morning looking at the beautiful lake Wanaka…. Million dollar view. Your home was decorated lovely and had everything we could possibly need. Beds were super comfy. We had dinner at Francesca’s Italian… very good. We would highly recommend this home on VRBO. Thank you
We loved this home as soon as we arrived. clean. warm, loads of pantry supplies. very welcoming and we all relaxed immediately. The host info and local suggestions were fantastic and we took full advantage and enjoyed!
We would definitely stay again, such friendly hosts and Wanaka was a real treat. felt like a vacation.
We flew down to attend Ripe and Ayrburn and we loved chilling in this property after 2 busy days. The only negative was that the neighbours at the back on the right had a Hugh party that overflowed down the drive and continued until after 1am so very little sleep. Obviously this was out of the owners hands. The location was just perfect. Would highly recommend this property and their point of contact was amazing. She did everything to ensure we were comfortable.

Lovely home ticked all boxes. Two families staying for skiing week. Great location, warm and had everything we needed. Emily very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
