Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We absolutely loved our stay here!!! What a special treat to get to stay here and partake in this million dollar view. The studio is small but comfy and cozy and all we cared about was having our fully glassed in view. You just have to experience it for yourself. Definitely recommend staying here!
Loved it all!
The view is absolutely incredible. The host was very kind and allowed us to use the kitchen upon request. The two German dogs were polite, gentle, and friendly. Highly recommend this place!
One small suggestion: adding a curtain to the window facing the mountains would provide more privacy and help block the early morning light.
The views were amazing!! Such a peaceful place to enjoy.
The wind 😅
The views were amazing
No tv
A luxurious suite on the crest of a mountain, floor to ceiling glass walls. Nice and warm. Million dollar view. Hard to fault.
Fantastic location, great views,, very comfortable and quiet.
The small print mentioned that glasses, cups, kettle and fridge were provided. I didn't register that there was no where to cook, not even toast, and no plates. The host did offer the use of their kitchen but we made do with wine, bread, cheese and fruit. Too far to go to any restaurant. However, that didn't spoil the experience.
The location and views from the property were amazing. Very peaceful and relaxing. Friendly owners, who were available if needed, but so quiet it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Beautiful friendly dogs too! Many thanks
We weren't expecting the metal driveway to be as steep and windy - it was a little scary with our little car. But as the drive is well maintained we didnt have any problems, and it was well worth the climb.
Great overall !
Absolutely 💯 mind blowing views so relaxing Phil,Adrian Fantastic couple sad to leave ,will be back,
clean and tidy, quite location with friendly staff/owner accompanying with 3 beautiful super friendly German Shepherds 🥰🥰🥰. Simply it’s a peaceful nice place.
Nothing but if the room had a 55” TV would be ideal.
Just wow! Views are amazing. Friendly and helpful hosts who gave us great recommendations for dinner and hikes. Comfortable bed and pillows! Friendly dogs!!!!!
It is a little remote, which suited us. However,as a result, it would be wonderful to have some basic kitchen supplies like plates, cutlery, microwave so that there is an option to have breakfast and a light dinner( take out, for example) here. That would make it perfect. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Very unique views. Good sunset and sun rise.
Very windy, but cosy inside.
The views were amazing and the hosts were lovely
Everything, the view, the room, and the living space was fabulous. The view is epic.
For us, perhaps crockery and cutlery. I knew we were going to be remote so brought cheese and crackers for dinner.
Hermoso lugar, vistas increíbles. El alojamiento es perfecto y los dueños son amables. Excelente
This place is an absolute gem of a place to stay. The accommodation is lovely, the bed is super comfortable. The view is sublime and it was lovely to have the dogs around occasionally. Dependent on the reasons why you are staying, keep in mind, if looking to book, there is only a jug and small fridge available in the studio so nowhere to heat food up/prepare easy to eat food. This accommodation suited my needs while here. Only thing was I wasn't here long enough to really enjoy the beautiful mountains, stunning sunsets/sunrise and surrounds. Many thanks Adrienne and Phill 💐
Very nice place that has everything that you need and more, convenient location close to Wanaka. Adrienne and Phil are excellent and friendly hosts. And of course the view - magnificent!
Everything was great!
Incredible view on the valley . The appart. is situated on the top of a mountain overlooking the whole valley. What a view.
Everything was more then ok
The simply astonishing view. Woke up to the sunrise, and watched the milky way come out in the evening
Nothing
높은 언덕 위에 있어 조망이 아주 좋고 숙소가 청결하고 침대도 편안했으며 전자렌지가 없어 주인분께 부탁했더니 해결해주셨음
La gentillesse de l’hôte, et la vue incroyable que nous a offert ce séjour
amazing views …great location , great host
Der Ausblick ist überwältigend, die Gastgeber einmalig. Man fühlt sich sofort sehr wohl. Wenn man dann noch eine sternenklare Nacht erlebt wie wir, ist es der Himmel auf Erden.
Everything was fantastic. The owners are very friendly and mindful. There are exceptional views to take in all around. This studio doesn't have curtains so you get to experience being outside snuggled up. There is no TV so bring a book or whatever. You could hear the owners a little but it is super quiet during the evening. Tea and coffee is provided and some lovely biscuits so if you need a snack, bring it with you. There is a small fridge also.The drive up does include a gravel section where some delightful dogs await. We will be coming back . Loved this place . It is very special

Everything perfect. Magnificient location and view.

Beeindruckende Lage mit Aussicht. Phil hat mittlerweile 3 Schäferhunde, der jüngste besucht einem gerne im Zimmer.
Verdunklungsmöglichkeit fehlt. Flecken auf der Matratze. Über 80 sehr große Fliegen im Zimmer am Fenster (nicht zu öffnen, somit konnten die Fliegen nicht entfernt werden) waren nicht akzeptabel.
The views are worth it.
No toaster or microwave or table to sit at inside out of the wind.
L'accueil. Le logement. La vue. Je ne suis resté qu'une nuit mais j'ai passé un excellent séjour chez Adrienne et Phil. Best regards. Kévin.
Spectacular view … everything perfect.
Nothing.
It was an incredible place to stay. The view was remarkable and amazing to wake up to with the large curtain free windows that maximised the view. It was peaceful, the hosts were so friendly, great to talk to and so helpful, the dogs were so lovely to interact with, the room was modern, clean and comfortable. Super handy to have the mini fridge, kettle, (appreciated the tea, coffee and biscuits). It was great to be able to explore the property a little and just take in the view with no technology distractions (though wifi was good). We would definitely stay there again! Highly recommended.
A toaster would have been a handy bonus but not essential.
The extraordinary view and surrounding. Lovely, spacious and peaceful accommodation. Top hosts, very helpful and always with a smile... Fantastic! With pain in our hearts we have to leave this magical place. We will cherish the beautiful memories.
Niets op aan te merken.
View
none
Little fridge was helpful
The view was just amazing, you can just sit there for hours and stare out over the vast area. The dogs were very friendly and good company, the owners are happy to keep them away if you don’t like dogs though. We also walked around the property and looked through the vegetable gardens which are pretty impressive. The hosts were welcoming and after arriving didn’t see them so it was like we had the place to ourselves. In the morning we had a great chat with them and it was nice to find out about tue area from people that live there.
Nothing, it was perfect.
The view was just incredible and the owners were really friendly and there dogs were so beautiful and friendly.
That we had to leave the stunning view
Stunning view on top of mountain. Allowed early check in. Friendly dogs that did not bark. Comfortable and modern
Be aware there is about a half mile of winding dirt road to the house. The address was hard to see on a post at the driveway. There is a gate that opens when you push a button
Fantastic location with unbeatable views. Lovely hosts, made us feel at home immediately. We didn’t want to leave.
Prachtig gelegen op een berg
Geen idee
Vue magnifique sur la vallée Lit confortable
Manque une petite table Emplacement un peu éloigné , il faut faire de la route pour trouver un supermarche ou un restaurant
Everything was wonderful, very comfortable bed, the views are amazing.
Amazing! We should have stayed longer. Incredibly beautiful, peaceful place with a view that can't be described. Part of the owner's house but separate and private and the owners were wonderful...
Fantastic view, thoughtful design and amenities, welcoming touch, clear instructions, the most friendly dogs.
The venue was spectacular
Nothing
景色很好,房东对地址的描述很准确,仔细看很容易就能找到。虽然开始因为我的粗心去了另外一家,但那里的人很好,她很热情的给我指了路
一切都很好
STUNNING views and great room. Comfortable and clean space in a beautiful part of the country. Close to Wanaka and not far from Arrowtown, Queenstown etc. Throughly recommend!

风景比预期更惊喜,远眺雪山和草原,早上还起来看了日出。房间干净舒适。 Gorgeous view, remarkable place. Our host Adrienne was very nice.
观景的客厅跟主人家是用玻璃门隔开的,隔音不是特别好,但卧室没问题。进了大门还要开大约五百米的碎石上坡路,有点刺激。
景色一流,房间温馨,房主和善。 The view here is absolutely stunning, the rooms are cozy and warm, and the host is incredibly kind and welcoming. It was a delightful stay!
能有微波炉和简单餐具就好了。 It would be great if there was a microwave and some basic utensils available.
The views from this studio & the host & their dogs
Nothing
Love the view, waking up to the mountains, peaceful, comfortable
Would probably like a small kitchenette, but it worked ok for our stay
-Der unglaubliche Ausblick -Sehr nette Gastgeberin
Great location, great communication with owners, very good interior.
I wish I would know about the dog
Amazing location with stunning view. Wonderful hosts with two beautiful, friendly dogs.
Can't think of anything negative to say.
Beautiful view. Large shower. Clear instructions left in suite. No one could see in despite no curtains, as there isn't anyone for quite some distance.
A glass partition separates the studio from the host's living space. As a result, sound from conversations, coughing, etc. travels right through. Not as private or quiet as expected.
Amazing view and a lovely place to stay! Our furry babies loved it too! Welcoming friendly hosts.
The location and the cleanliness of the unit. The comfortable bed and just the overall vibe was excellent
Just wondering where the curtains were ? Privacy thing I guess.
The location was great. Two lovely dogs and host were there to greet us on arrival. Totally offgrid property was awesome.
Would have made an awesome stay even better if there were plates, cutlery and maybe a toaster provided.
The bed is really comfortable undoubtedly.
Washroom could have been cleaned and kept neat and tidy.
Amazing view. Dog-friendly, plus their friendly dogs!
A microwave or toaster would be handy, but also not really necessary for a short stay. The minimalist set up actually maximized the view.
Everything was unexpectedly perfect. The view was breathtaking, and the host and their dogs were very friendly. The room was spacious and clean, with plenty of heating. The bed was very comfortable, and the Wi-Fi was fast. The tea, coffee, and biscuits provided by the host were excellent. The privacy was great, with undisturbed space and time. Even in winter, it is a perfect destination. I will definitely come back again.
Nothing
Beautiful location on the top of a big hill with a view of the surrounding location; host was flexible with late arrival accommodation
Floor to ceiling windows/doors without privacy (though host indicated that no one is around); getting there was a little complicated
El alojamiento es una habitación totalmente independiente, pero contigua, a la casa de los dueños. Uno de los alojamientos más bonitos en los que estuvimos, la habitación era grande, con una pequeña terraza acristalada y un baño enorme. Pero lo mejor eran las vistas que tienen, eso sí, la localidad más cercana está a 20 kilómetros.
The place was beautiful, it was very clean with expensive feeling sheets, comfy bed, lovely view from the window, hosts were very welcoming and very friendly. Very tranquil. Would definitely go again. Lovely place.
The only thing that could have been better, but definitely this is not a reason not to go there, because it’s beautiful, is a toaster maybe. The property is in a tranquil location and we would have loved to just stay there and not have to go out for food. A toaster or a microwave would have given us the opportunity to stay there.
It was clean and cosy. The view was breathtaking, and Adrienne and Phill were there to make us feel home
It was perfect
Beautiful, beautiful view. Amazing accommodation. Bed extremely comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Bedding top quality, bathroom beautiful, everything was perfect. Going to sleep with that view was awesome, and waking up to it, even better. Wonderful place to stay, and lovely hosts.
地點很完美!在這裡拍到了人生中最漂亮的星空照片。附上的照片就是在房間門口拍的。 房東很熱情友善,而且他們的兩隻狗狗很可愛😍 房間也很乾淨整潔,雖然說房間没有微波爐、碗碟之類的,但其實房東就住在隔壁,有甚麼需要可以跟他們說,他們都很樂意幫忙。
没有
La ubicación era perfecta para desconectar y descansar. Tienen un perro muy juguetón.
Me gustó todo
De plek is enorm mooi! Een enorm fijn verblijf!
Het zou handig zijn als er 2 borden staan om iets te eten.
Great location, stunning views, comfortable.
We did not get the direction instructions until after we arrived - would have helped to have these before hand as it was not easy to find.
This place feels like in the middle of nowhere and is the perfect place for a day/night off! It feels a little strange to sleep in a glass box without any curtains (which are not necessary as there is nothing around) but when you wake up in the morning you understand why this is the case. I arrived in the dark, so I could only see the view in the morning but the night sky up there is amazing too. Nearly no light pollution and the milky way nearly jumps in your eyes. There must be beautiful sun rise/set too but it was cloudy when I was there.
Alles, es ist absolut atemberaubend wenn man oben auf dem Berg angekommen ist. Ein absolutes Erlebnis. Die Aussicht, die Ruhe und vor allem die Gastfreunflichkeit sind umwerfend. Absolut ein Besuch wert, schade dass wir nur eine Nacht bleiben konnten. Die Aussicht kann man im Übrigen auch vom Bett aus genießen dank Panoramafenstern. Unsere Empfehlung: Man sollte sich unbedingt etwas zum Knabbern und einen guten Wein mitbringen und den Sonnenuntergang genießen. Wahlweise auch den Aufgang mit einer Tasse Kaffee ;)
Nichts zu meckern! Unser i - Tüpfelchen wäre bei der kleinen und sehr guten Kaffee und Teeausstattung ein kleiner Toaster.
What's NOT to like about this little studio which really IS on top of the world?! A truly breathtaking location yet only 20mins out of Wānaka, so you have convenience yet the most unique experience. Adrienne & Phil have built an astonishing home and then decided to let people share their incredible space. The added bonus is their sustainability..off-grid living at its finest. I was welcomed warmly by Adrienne and their 2 sweet dogs. The studio is beautifully appointed and private. Comfortable bed, hot shower, real coffee and tea and homemade bickies and a view that couldn't fail to impress.
Wish I'd stayed more than 1 night! Can't fault it 🤷🏻♀️
Fantastic view & very private.
The property does not have any facilities for heating up food & no F&B outlets within 5km.
Sehr schöne Wohnung mit atemberaubenden Ausblick
