Tempest on Wanaka

I am so happy that we had an opportunity to stay in Tempest on Wanaka. Chris and Lin did all for us to feel at home. The house is beautifully decorated, there are a lot of restaurants 5 mins by walk. Huge bedroom, super cozy. Breakfast filled with homemade jams, baked bread, eggs. Thank you so much! Hope we will get back one day ❤️

Our stay was exceptional. We were made to feel so welcome. Chris and Lin were excellent hosts, and the home made breakfasts were sublime. Great company and very comfy place to stay. Our favourite stop in NZ.

Nothing

Chris and Lin are great hosts, and the location is an easy walk into Wanaka. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed having time to talk to the hosts about local sites, etc. They went above and beyond with extra touches to make things comfortable.

We enjoyed that this is a true B&B experience, but just be aware that you should be comfortable staying in someone's home. You have complete privacy when you want it.

le petit-déjeuner est incroyable ; Chris et son épouse cuisinent tout ; ils font leur pain ; font les compotes, le Yoghurt, les confitures. top

We loved the size of our room and it was very comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful along with a great breakfast.

Great Bed & Breakfast with great host! We enjoyed having conversation with the host. The room was amazingly cozy and comfortable. Walkable if you enjoy walking to town.

Star rating: 3/5 Review: I stayed at Tempest in Wanaka. Check-in was smooth and payment on arrival was convenient. The property offers individual parking, which was very handy. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The room was spacious and well appointed with most amenities provided. Tea, water and cookies were available, and breakfast was included. Breakfast featured fresh croissants, homemade breads with marmalades, and granola with milk and yoghurt — all tasty and satisfying.

On the downside, the room’s small 1-ton heater/AC struggled to heat/cool the space effectively, and the bed was a bit too soft for my preference. Overall a pleasant stay and good value for a 3-star accommodation.

Spacious room with nice views and very comfortable bed. Chris and Lin are incredibly lovely and generous hosts.

Lovely home like environment. Peaceful yet close to town.

Very close to Town Center. Large room, very comfortable beds, clean bathroom, Chris and Lin were helpful hosts. Onsite parking.

Not a thing!

Chris and Lin, Breakfast, location, and facilities!

Beautiful accommodation and fantastic hosts who were knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. The attention to detail with the homemade breakfast items and super equiped large rooms were great. 100% recommended

Uns hat das schön eingerichtete Zimmer mit dem großen Bad sehr gefallen. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Die Lage von „The Tempest“ ist prima. Ruhig und doch zentral.

Lin and Chris were wonderful hosts. Beautiful neigbourhood and property. The room was very spacious and lovely decorated. Delicious homemade breakfast.

Friendly spacious guesthouse with convenient location close to centre of town. Breakfast was a joy with many freshly made or home grown included. Great place to stay.

Only, too short our stay

객실이 아늑하고 침구류도 깨끗, 욕실도 깨끗해서 좋았어요. 전체적으로 호스트의 깔끔함이 느껴졌어요. 친절하게 대해주시고 이야기하시는 것을 좋아하시는 분 같았어요. 숙소 주변은 매우 조용하고 깨끗해요. 와나카 호수까지 걸어다니기에도 무리가 없어요. 큰 나무가 우거진 깨끗한 길을 걸으면서 아침 산책하기에도 좋았어요.

아쉬운 점이 굳이 있다면, 아무래도 가정집 숙소라서 그런지 편안하면서도 뭔가 살짝 불편함이 있어요. 예를 들면 계단 올라갈 때 1층에 계시는 호스트에게 신경쓰이게 하고 싶지 않아서 나무 소리가 안나게 살살 걷게 되는 것 같은 것 같은거요.

zeer vriendelijke eigenaars, ruime kamer, zeer ruime badkamer, komt over als nieuw, goed ontbijt. Op loopafstand van het centrum.

Very good stay. I even got wrong date at the very beginning. Hosts super kind and helpful. Nice room. Very delicious breakfast too. Convenient but very quiet location.

Friendly and helpful owners, lovely property in good location. Comfortable bed and good night’s sleep. Really nice home grown and home made breakfast ingredients. Very much a home from home.

Friendly hosts. Big room and comfy beds

Fantastic location, generous room, incredibly clean and tidy with everything you could possibly want. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating but also gave you your space and privacy. Room was huge, bed was comfortable, bathroom was generous and everything was incredibly clean and tidy. The property is a 5 minute walk from the lakefront but felt totally private and quiet, tucked away one street back from the main road (which itself is still pretty quiet).

Nothing!

房东先生和太太都非常和善，房间舒适又干净，早餐丰盛又美味，离小镇和湖都得近，十分方便。

Chris and Lin are supportive, warm and kind hosts.

Großzügiges Zimmer und tolle Gastgeber

Chris and Lin were so nice!! The room was big and comfortable. We had coffee and tea supply in the room. Breakfast was homemade and tasty. It's a 3 minute drive to the town center

Nothing

主人热情周到，早餐食品新鲜，主人园子养了很多花。

没什么需要改进的。

Chris and Lin are wonderful hosts. The breakfast was lovely with homemade bread, muffins, and granola. Fresh eggs and juice a big plus. Great coffee and nice to meet a few other folks from around the globe. My husband and I enjoy getting the opportunity to mingle with fellow world travelers and this kind of B&B allows for this to occur.

Sehr schön

The room was just perfect. Breakfast was fantastic. Lin and Chris offer such warm hospitality.

We had a wonderful stay at Tempest on Wanaka. My wife and I truly enjoyed the home-style hospitality of Chris and Lin — they were friendly, supportive, welcoming, and we had many interesting conversations with them. The room was very nice and cozy, making our stay even more comfortable.

It was very homely and the beds were very comfortable with lovely bed linen s d towels. It was spotlessly clean too! Breakfast was delicious, all home made and a real treat 😋

Our stay at Tempest on Wanaka was truly delightful and everything was perfect. The location is fantastic, situated just a short walk from the beautiful Wanaka Lakefront, in the heart of this incredibly charming town. Tempest on Wanaka is a family-run B\&B, and the wonderful hosts, Chris and Lin, made our experience truly special. They are both genuinely lovely and exceptionally welcoming people. The absolute highlight of our stay was the breakfast, which was a special moment of the day. Everything is lovingly homemade by Lin, from the delicious jams to the granola—all of it was outstanding! Sharing conversation with both Chris and Jane during breakfast was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully furnished, providing a very comfortable retreat, and the modern bathrooms have all necessary amenities. We also appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea station for guests. The service goes above and beyond: on one morning, we had an early excursion, and Chris very kindly started breakfast earlier just for us. Highly Recommended! Thank you, Chris and Lin, for your incredible kindness and for making our Wanaka stay even more special.

Thank you for the muffins. Breakfast was great !!

Die Gastfreundschaft war außergewöhnlich. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt.

Lovely welcome, spacious room, comfy bed, very clean, delicious breakfast, charming hosts. We don't need anything else! We'll definitely recommend!

Nothing

Location was great, homemade breakfast was such a treat, very roomy for 3 people.

There was nothing that we did not like about the property!!!

Tout... Un vrai b&b avec des hôtes qui aiment échanger et partager.

Wat een parel van een B&B! Gerund door een geweldig stel, met passie en plezier. Geniet van het heerlijke, veelal zelfgemaakte ontbijt en een koffie van de gecertificeerde barista zelf. De kamer is enorm groot, met zitbank, hangstoel en heerlijk bedden. Je ziet de bergen in de verte, terwijl je toch niet ver van een grote variëteit aan eetgelegenheden bent.

We konden geen punten vinden die ons niet beviel.

Rent och snyggt, stort rum med plats för 3 personer. Bra frukost.

Alldeles för dyrt för att vara bed and breakfast.

The room was very comfortable with ensuite and great shower. The breakfast was also lovely. Lin makes her own muesli, bread and muffins which are delicious! Hot breakfast is also great…Chris made us feel very welcome with information on the area.

Home Cooked breakfast and baking

Very nice B&B, owners were very nice and helpful. Good shower, water pressure and hot water. Good wi-fi. Provided good breakfast.

No complaints.

Chris and Lin were excellent bed and breakfast hosts. We enjoyed having breakfast with them each morning. They provided plenty of food and were keen to offer eggs, croissants, or coffee on request (Chris is even a certified barista). They helped us with laundry during our stay and they quickly identified something that we left behind, which we were able to retrieve after we left. They are both talented and wise people that anyone can learn a great deal from. During the day, our hosts gave us space and always respected privacy. Location-wise, this is a very good spot. A walk into the heart of the town is very doable. If you want to stay somewhere in Wanaka where you can meet two locals and learn from them, this is the place for you.

I sadly couldn’t make it to stay with the group, however there was nothing but positive feedback. The guys were happy, said breakfast was awesome and it was a great space. Thank you!

Spacious comfortable room with comfortable bed and sitting area. Delicious continental breakfast with homemade breads and preserves and granola. Enjoyed dining with our hosts and the other guests so we could share experiences. Ten minute walk to town which saved us from having to search for parking downtown when it was crowded. Hosts Chris and Lin were very helpful and friendly with suggestions of what to do in the Wanaka area.

Breakfast provided was really very, very good.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the room is very spacious, everything was clean and tidy, the facilities are absolutely adequate. It is very close to the lake and the town centre, including restaurants, only a few minutes' walk away. Chris and Lin were great hosts, they made a very good breakfast with very good coffee. This accommodation is highly recommended, thanks to Lin and Chris

The room was clean and spacious. It wasn't clear enough in the listing that we were literally staying in a room in within the hosts house.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding. We asked for a late check out so we could enjoy a sleep in as we were away from our busy lives and 3 children. We were asked why we wanted a late check out. It felt like we were staying with our parents. We didn't take up the offer of breakfast as didn't need the small talk on our holiday. The whole experience was awkward and we felt like the listing wasn't clear about bc we wouldn't have booked had we known we were in a room in someone's house, needing to take our shoes off on entry, and sneak in late a night so we didn't wake anyone.

Lovely room delightful hosts

Lin and Chris are wonderful host and their breakfast were all handmade. It's continental but so delicious. And Chris made lovely flat white coffee (with a heart shape on the top). Walking distance to town in a very quiet Cul de sac location.

Nothing.

Very clean, modern and spacious room

Breakfast was continental style and very nice but would be too repetitive after more than 2 days. Need to enter the house to access your room , no separate access so it feels a little invasive. Walk to the far end of the strip is a little long and uphill on the return. Close to the near shops.

Walkable to town, very friendly and helpful hosts, comfortable bed and good shower

We very much felt like we were staying in a bedroom in somebody’s house. Our bed was under the low point of a slanted roof and my partner still has marks on his head from standing up from rested position. Having to remove our shoes upon entering the house was annoying. Breakfasts of yogurt and cereal were good but could have been more varied with some egg choices, pancakes etc.

Kind, friendly welcome from host and lovely clean, roomy accommodation.

Nothing

Such genuinely friendly hosts. Superb breakfast each morning included home grown produce with great conversations between us, Chris and Lin. Nothing was too much trouble for them and this made our stay so much more pleasurable. Very clean and comfortable room with good views. Brilliant shower in the ensuite bathroom. Very well situated to walk into centre of town

Having to leave

Chris and Lin are amazing couple. The room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Location is close to the centre. High recommend

Our hosts Mr and Mrs Tempest were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We had breakfast with produces right from their garden. There was home made jam, granola, coffee, and bread. We had a wonderful time.

Nothing whatsoever.

Nice and clean place, central located in Wanaka. Lin and Chris were friendly and helpful hosts. We have enjoyed our stay.

friendly and convenient

The breakfast was excellent!! Our hosts Chris and Lin, were warm and friendly and very accommodating. Good location with an easy walk to the town center with restaurants and cafés.

Nothing

The main bed is a super king size and very comfortable. The room has a nice blend of modern and vintage design. It is also very clean.

We thought this room had a separate entry, but it does not. The landlord couple lives downstairs, and there are three rooms available for rent upstairs. During our stay, there was another couple next door on the same floor. They were nice and quiet, but sometimes we could still hear sounds from the other bedroom.

Almost nothing. It’s a B&B in a residential area.

Almost everything. The owners were weird. We didn’t feel comfortable and welcomed. This is definitely not a place for people who want great hospitality. No fun.

Great hosts snd breakfast

Nothing to dislike

A lovely comfortable room in a beautiful home, close to town. The hosts were welcoming and informative. Bonus features were having our own fridge and tea, coffee making facilities!

Chris and Lin are great hosts! We had a lovely stay. The breakfast is delicious. Beds are comfortable and room is very clean. Lin wrote us her chocolate cookie recipe! So kind of her. You will love the place!

Chris and Lin were lovely hosts. They had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable including an electric blanket and home made chocolate chip cookies! Location is about 10 minutes from the town centre. Very nice ensuite bedroom.

Chris and Lynn were excellent hosts and the stay was quite comfortable

It was warm, comfortable, quiet and within easy walking distance from town. Chris & Lin were very welcoming and provided an excellent breakfast.

It was a wonderful place to stay and so close to town. The hosts were super nice, couldn't ask for more.

Cosy and warm, easy walk to the town centre. Friendly hosts and great breakfast.

Everything

Lin and Chris are wonderful, warm, and welcoming hosts. We will choose this accommodation every time we stay in Wanaka.

Great location as very central to Wanaka CBD. Extremely comfortable bed, fantastic hosts who provide a very good breakfast.
