    Access to the river through the garden of the main house was great, with a table to eat at just there. Amy was a great host and we were made to feel more than welcome. The studio was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

    Very tasteful separate guest house in quiet residential area. The hosts live in the main house just above the guesthouse and are very welcoming. They will give you tips for local trips and dining options. There is a barbecue and we could use the bikes to ride into town. Loved the stay and the view and would definitely return if in Wānaka again.
