About this property
Relaxing retreat by the river
Love lakes and mountains?
Modern, bright, spacious and comfortable self contained apartment in a mountain town ~ Perfect for up to 3 people.
Cosy in winter and cool in summer with not one but two air conditioning units. You can rest and relax or use the apartment as your base for all of the outdoor activities that Wanaka is famous for, whether you dream of skydiving into paradise, climbing mountains, snow sports or enjoying water activities, this region has it all, every season of the year.
We love that Wanaka's best coffee is right on your doorstep, together with the pub & restaurant the locals choose, delicious patisserie, Four Square Supermarket, liquor store & laundrette. Wake up after a comfortable night's sleep to views of the mountains and the scent of fresh air, knowing that your accommodation is just a stone's throw away from exhilarating cycling trails and scenic routes.
Our mission is to surprise and delight! So, if you need any special amenities, portable cot, late check out or early check in, please just let us know and we will do our best for you.
Other things to note:- This is a two storied apartment with large bedroom upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs. Towels and bed linen are included in the rate for this property together with bathroom and basic kitchen essentials.
Self check-in:- Instructions on how to get to the apartment, where your personal car park is located and how to enter the apartment will be sent to you 12 hours before your check in time. Should you require information sooner just send us a message

Wanaka - a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It's the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests, and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are both 45 minutes away. In the winter months you will find our ski mountains a buzz with activity and in summer months we are all on the lakes (Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea).
While our outdoor scenery steals the show, our indoor attractions are just as exciting. If the weather isn't cooperating or you just need a day inside, check out Wanaka's range of indoor activities. From hitting the town for shopping and cinemas, or high energy pastimes, like swimming laps or climbing, to relaxing with yoga, a massage or spa pools. You can even get lost for fun at our famous Puzzling World. We don't let bad weather get in our way! Check out our galleries for local art you'll love.

About the host
Hosted by Kirsty McNeill
Originally from way down south (Invercargill), we have been calling this piece of paradise home for 7 years now. My husband Craig and I have 3 grown up boys and a dog called Rookie who is the boss. We love walking, enjoying our lakes and rivers, mountain biking and planning holidays!

All seasons will thrill you. If you would rather relax, there is nothing better than getting close to the nature on your doorstep. Rejuvenate and rest from your busy life right here.
Albert Town is just a few minutes drive from central Wanaka.
