Kylie's Castle

Great view, great location, very comfy house eith lovely fire

amazing location within walking distance of everything you need in beautiful Wanaka - huge home with enough room for 2 families - lovely views from upstairs and very warm with heaters and fireplace

Central location, close to town and all amenities

Can do better on providing amenities like paper towel, coffee pod machine, dish washing liquid … for the price one is paying. Keeping the property more upto date with better sofa and water clogging in main bathroom en-suite could provide better experience. We had to call the property manager to fix this along with water leakage in toilet.

It was a good size for family and friends

Need repairs done

Brilliant location and wonderfully spacious home.

The beds were quite soft and bedrooms were tricky to cool after a hot summer day.

Wry spacious

Nice location

We 8people stayed for 3 nights .One of the major stove is not working,we reported at first day, one staff came to check then nothing happened.

Well equipped large house for a big group. Excellent location. Very happy customer

Great location, great view, and lovely spacious house! Really enjoyed it!

Pillow and mattress was a bit soft, but was still comfortable enough, everything was great!

Great location, walking distance to main area. Heaters in all rooms and good to have lots of bathrooms for families.

Some of the burners on the stovetop don’t work. Would have been nice to have some Tupperware or glad wrap to keep leftovers considering it’s for families cooking most nights.

The location and facilities were great. Perfect set up for a large group of friends or multiple families.

Just a few minor things could be improved. The cooktop was only partially working. The spa in the main ensuite wasn't working and there were no front or back door mats which you really need when it's wet outside and the entry is not covered.

The location was superb. Easy walk to lake and supermarket. Easy access to main town area too. Great stay.

Would prefer to have an easier way to collect and drop off keys.

Location, size, 1 bathroom per bedroom was fantastic. Views. Very warm with fire going. Well equipped & plenty of cutlery, crockery etc. this is our second stay & will definitely book again at some stage.

Absolutely nothing!

Awesome location. So many bedrooms and bathrooms/ensuites! Has everything you need for a super comfortable stay! Suited us perfectly for 4 generations of family 6-93yrs staying for a wedding.

Loved the location, facilities for lots of couples (bathroom and bedroom for each as a group of 10)! Staff were beautiful and super easy to deal with

Really struggled with the heat and no fans! Sleeping with all doors and windows gets a little tired especially with the wild temp drop overnight.

Location was fantastic, short stroll to the town Centre. Really easy to access the house with suitcases; we had a large group and this house was perfect.

It was summer and the house was very hard to cool down; there was no air con or fan in the bedrooms so sleeping overnight was a little uncomfortable. It would be very cosy in winter though!

Nothing

Wonderful House We stayed with family and friends, a total of nine people. There were enough bathrooms and toilets, the kitchen was easy to cook in, and the beds were extremely comfortable. We were able to relax while enjoying the view of the lake—it was truly a refreshing experience.

Excellent location. Great space and facilities

Cost.

I felt the photos didn't quite give it justice as the bedrooms now have beautiful linen.The house was spacious with every bedroom having its own bathroom. Downstairs was large and comfortable with a very well appointed kitchen. The location is perfect being about 200m to the lake, shops and restaurants. Perfect for a large group.

We could not get the bbq hot

Absolutely beautiful a credit to you

Perfect location - 3 mins walk to the lakeside, but quiet enough for a good sleep. Absolutely amazing view - you can just see the iconic lake view from the terrace while enjoying your tea. Spacious living and dining area, and there are 5 bedrooms, each of them has its own bathroom. Clean, comfy, well equipped, also warm during night. What else can I ask for?

That we have to leave :(

Edge of CBD location while reasonably quiet at night, state of the art facilities, number of bathrooms, onsite safe parking

Shampoo rack in the shower room too small that the shampoo bottle fell to the ground all the time

Phenomenal location. Large house with very well equipped kitchen. Large eating area and living area.

Not very much. Overall excellent place to stay. Only minor thing was our mattress upstairs was a bit uncomfortable (not sure about the other mattresses though)

Location, views

Spa did not work, Bbq did not work. Cooktop burners did not all work. Cooking Pans were terrible. Needs some general maintenance.

Fantastic property, excellent location, close to town. Well equiped & warm. 3 bedrooms with ensuites & the other two had a full bathroom across hall. Comfy beds & showers with decent pressure.

Great location , very neat and clean , plenty of room .

Spacious, comfortable and very convenient to all Wanaka offers. Amazing lake views. Great outdoor areas for enjoying sunny, autumn afternoons. Perfect for our large family.

A few extra basics would make a stay for overseas visitors easier. Salt and pepper, cooking oil, any items to clean the BBQ would have been welcome. We chose not to use the BBQ as there were no cleaning products available.

So spacious, amazing location!

Beds were a little springy, but nothing major!

Simple, clean, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Close to town and a great view. Spot on!

Awesome house for a group. Nearly every room having its own bathroom and the large lounge and dining table worked really well

Paying for internet daily seemed strange

Location is good and great for a large family

Lack of Sky Sport… very upsetting for the guys!! Few kitchen utensils missing.

Our families are avid visitors to Wanaka since 2008. We’ve stayed at booked various accommodations and  enjoyed staying in Wanaka every two years for the Wanaka Airshow. This year however, we were very disappointed with our visit staying at Kylies Castle. A cool reception awaited our visit to Kylies Castle in June 2023. We stayed at Kylies Castle prior to it being renovated. At two of our previous stays, Wanaka Selections offered the Krook in 2016 and 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the position, ambience and all the Krook had to offer. This time around, we had three families booked to stay at Kylies Castle and receptionist provided only two sets of keys indicating ‘that’s all we’ve got’. This required negotiations within our group re key locations. When we arrived at Kylies Castle at 3pm, we were greeted by a power outage, created much anxiety for all involved. What time would the power be reconnected? How can we cook our dinner? Will we be warm enough as it was getting very cold. We had already unpacked and did not want to move to an alternative address. A response to connection to power appeared to be problematic taking three different electricians to replace and reconnect the power pole fuse. The last electrician who connected the power indicated that the fuse could only take 65 amps, when in actual fact the house created much more and that this would happen again if the electricals were not updated. Luckily the power returned at 7pm. When we contacted Wanaka Selection, we were advised that the power should come on within a few hours but we could move houses around the corner if we wanted too. But we had unpacked and didn’t want to pack and return to the house. We were not offered any candles or matches to combat the lack of lighting. It would be a good idea to have some under the sink, just in case the power goes out in the future. Instructions on how to use the oven would’ve been useful.

See above.

Excellent location, so close to the lake and cafes

Large spacious home for a large group! great that each room has their own bathroom. Fantastic central location.

We cannot speak highly enough of this amazing property, we absolutely loved it ! Kylies Castle was the perfect house for our family. Check in was super easy, just a block away with lovely staff. The beds are all super comfy and the many bathrooms really clean and spacious with lots of towels. The kitchen was amazing, and open living, fantastic. So much space and everything worked. The location could not be better, a tiny walk to the lake and shops, restaurants etc. we will definitely be booking again and recommending to friends.

Upton Apartments seem to be a newly built property, it was spacious and clean. Good value for money and we enjoyed our stay at the property.

1. There was a bad odour in the dishes and the dishwasher. We had to hand wash the dishes as the odour didn’t go even after two dishwasher washing rounds. It seems like the dishwasher needs a thorough clean. 2. The shower head of the downstairs bathroom came off and needed repairing during our stay. 3. An extra mirror outside the downstairs bathroom is required for people staying and dressing up downstairs.

Was there with high expectations, but was extremely disappointed

The property had a minor incident (fire in the toilet) in July. Was not informed about this nor was I asked to rebook another property. Received a message quite late - 6.45pm day before I checked in. Was on the road and was not aware of the email. My mistake for not realising that I needed to collect keys from another place. Went there and was informed about the need to change my booking. I had booked a property with 5 rooms with attached bathrooms. What I got was 5 rooms with only 3 bathrooms - not what I wanted! I was told that they had given me the best they could and I could reject it at the time I wanted to check in. Fancy me going around looking for 5 rooms! Had no choice but to take what was given. I do not have any idea of what Kylie's Castle would be, but Rusted Charm would not be what I wanted. I had a super small room, which fitted only 2 single beds, and no cupboard, not even hooks to hang my clothes. Of the 2 beds, one didn't even have an electric blanket. I was told that Kylie's Castle will have a small room like this, but I can't imagine it to be as all rooms have its own attached bathroom. Extremely unhappy about the property not informing me so that I can make my own decisions as to whether I want to take what they offer. The fire was in July, my stay was in November!

The property has a wonderful view of Lake Wanaka, from almost every room. There were more bathrooms than bedrooms, making it a breeze for the 7 of us staying there. The house is fantastically located, with easy access and a short drive to Cardrona, and a short walk to the town centre for any shopping/food.
