"What an amazing property to stay at in Wanaka! Abhishek is a truly wonderful host who makes you feel at home and very helpful. The shared lounge and kitchen are fabulous and a wonderful way to meet other guests. Lovely to walk in to a warm cosy home with a fire on and a lovely host to greet you. The loft was an amazing room with lots of space and natural light. Look forward to returning for another stay soon."
