Vistas galore and privacy

There were six of us enjoying the views of the mountains and the open-air living. The trails outside the backyard led to views of Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea. The beautifully designed house afforded perfect space for comfortable living. With our rental car we took advantage of the proximity to Wanaka, a ten minute drive, and the not too distant wineries. We took advantage of the modern kitchen as we enjoyed several meals on the spacious patio, listening to music on the Sonos system (but not after 10:00 p.m. per neighborhood requirements). The bedroom and bathroom configuration suited three couples perfectly. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Wanaka we will stay at the Gem.

Modern, warm, well appointed home.

A fantastic place to come back to after exploring in the region. Cozy and warm yet spacious, modern but very comfortable. Interesting outlook with mountain vistas and local activity but privacy also available at the flick of a switch. Quiet and safe-feeling neighbourhood.

"The Gem" in 3 Diamond lane is truly a jewel of a house!

Our family of seven enjoyed a magnificent 9 day-stay. The property is conveniently located close to the Sticky Forest, a gravel pathway at the rear of the house providing easy bike access. The car port/parking area is large enough for a float and two cars. The decks are spacious incl. sturdy outdoor furniture. The house itself is beautifully designed, with exceptionally high ceilings providing head-space. All the amenities you could wish for are present, incl. sensor lights, self-closing toilet covers, huge glass showers, cool water dispenser in fridge, hot water tap in scullery/pantry, well assorted cutlery, media room, fire place, large windows, and of course the views of Black Peak, Minaret Ridge etc. . Wanaka township and the the Lake itself, as well as Albert Town, are a short drive away. We will definitely recommend this property and hope to be back sometime. Smita and Michael
