Absolutely lovely house. Fantastic place to have a wedding venue. We had 42 guests in our wedding and that was just perfect size. All the guests just loved the house and views. Beautiful outdoor area around the house. Detailing all around the house is so fine. There was plenty of space in the living room for the band and dance.... More

We had a nice visit in Wanaka. House is gorgeous. This would be a great place for a family, especially with children. We cooked steaks on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful views. Breakfast provisions are left in the refrigerator so you have complete privacy. It was a little warm and we bought a fan.

It's a romantic setting and the accommodation is excellent. Feel like a dip in the pool? Well its pretty much next to the lounge area. Very private and so relaxing. Finish with a spa or... More

We were married in the Wanaka Lakehouse and spent four spectacular nights there taking advantage of a "wedding package" that included the most incredible massages and facials, a private wine tasting with the owner Michael, and a sumptuous dinner on our wedding night prepared by our own chef! The Lakehouse itself, and surrounding views are stunning and the accommodations are... More

We stayed here when we got engaged. It was amazing, we had a quick tour of the house and then had the option to choose 1 of the 2 bedrooms downstairs which was hard because they were both amazing, there were others staying here upstairs but did not see them at all, it felt like we had the whole house...
