Alps Vista Retreat - Wanaka

Very cozy, comfortable and clean place

The number of the carpark has not been placed, so could not find the allocated carpark.

This a new property in a quiet location, just outside wanaka. Easy to get to from town and there’s a couple of local shops near by. Beauty of this place is that it is very quiet during the day and at night. Very peaceful location.

Unfortunately storage for our clothes was lacking. Only hanging wardrobe space and no draws or chest of drawers to put clothes away. Lacking in both rooms. The car park for the property is on the other side of the building. You can see the car park as the main living area and master bedroom faces the car park but you have to walk around to get to the car. Not ideal when loading and unloading car or when it’s pouring with rain. Whilst there was a washer and dryer at the property, there was no clothes rack to hang clothes to dry.

- มี 2 ห้องนอน 2 ห้องน้ำ ในอพาร์ตเมนท์เดียวกัน เหมาะกับกลุ่มเที่ยว 4 คน มาก - มีพื้นที่ทำครัวและอุปกรณ์ให้ครบครัน - มีพื้นที่นั่งเล่นทำให้ห้องดูไม่อึดอัด - มีการให้คำแนะนำจากพนักงานดี

- อยากให้มีชั้นวางสบู่ แชมพูในพื้นที่อาบน้ำ - หาที่พักไม่เจอ เพราะโลเคชั่นที่ปักหมุดไว้ไม่ตรงกับสถานที่จริง อยากให้ที่พักแก้ไขให้ถูกต้อง

It was so clean and modern! The bed was super comfy!! The hosts were very responsive when I raised a small issue..they resolved it in ten minutes! Locations was in a new estate, and a quieter one which we appreciated.

Not much not to like!! Parking around the back was just a minor inconvenience..nothing that should put you off staying here.

This is a lovely home. The kitchen was very well equipped. There was a washing machine, fab for when you are away for a couple of weeks. We were there is February but it did get quite chilly and the house stayed warm and pleasant. There is a great cafe/bar down the road with the most amazing scones, and a handy 4 Square type of shop. We had a great time and would recommend. The area is just lovely, with some astounding views of the mountains. But you do need a car as this is about a 10 minute drive from town.

The car parking was a bit awkward. Only a 2 minute walk and the car is visible from the unit. As it was summer we had no problems but in the winter it could be a bit offputting.

Great house, beds were very comfortable. Great having 2 bathrooms

Very well laid out bedrooms, ensuites, kitchen and lounge. Great little local bar and restaurant 2 minute walk away. Close to town. New housing area with very nice native planting

Nothing not to like.

clean rooms, comfortable bed, beautiful mountain view

No

The Alps Vista Retreat is a modern, well-appointed, and recently built apartment. The property management company that rents it out, BCR, was responsive & helpful. It’s in a lovely planned community that’s a 5 min drive from town. There are a few places close enough to walk to, including the popular bar/restaurant MonkeyFarm.

The back bedroom had terrible airflow & there was no way to open the window. I had trouble sleeping because it was impossible to get it to cool down even when the rest of the apartment was ten degrees cooler.

A very pretty apartment that’s clean, new, and comfortable, with well-equipped, new cooking utensils and a host who was quick to respond to all our questions.

The location was very good just far enough away from down town Wanaka

The water pressure on the hand basin in one bathroom was very poor but the other bathroom was very good

Good cooking and laundry facilities. Modern unit with a comfortable bed and bathroom.

The basin tap runs really slowly. The parking spot is around the other side of the building to the door meaning you have to walk around the complex to enter. Mildly annoying in fine weather. The reservations team need to sort out the map location properly and their automatically generated message system is flawed

Beautiful

Nothing, everything was perfect

This property is located in the new suburb of Northlake approx 5 min drive from Wanakas main street. Its near a convenience store and a beautiful art gallery. We liked the fact it was a ground floor unit and had a very well equipped kitchen for cooking, probably one of the best we have ever had on holiday. The beds were comfortable however, they are a Queen in one room and King in the other. The bathrooms are well appointed and we loved the rain head shower and heated bathroom floors. The balcony was lovely to sit and have breakfast on in the sunshine.

The handbasin in one bathroom has very low water pressure, it's not even suitable to brush teeth with. The carpark is located at the rear of the unit, so it meant we had to park out the front to unload the car then move it to our park which was a little frustrating, you cannot access the carpark from the balcony.

One of the best accommodation we came across in a long time. The cleanliness and comfort was exceptional. We love the quite location and the convenience of the corner store. The host made the place very welcoming. Very equip kitchen with good quality appliances. The house was warm as we arrived. The parking is located at the back of the units but we can drive to the front to drop off our bags.

NIL

The facilities and location were excellent. The house was well equipped and clean

Before I arrived I received an SMS from an unknown number in USA (+1 prefix) with a link to a Boarding Pass, making me nervous. After confirming it was from them I found I had to create an account with another supplier to access the boarding pass - I don't like having accounts all over the world with my details, so not happy with that. Next I started getting alerts from my bank that BCR group was trying to take $250 from my account. I only transfer money into that account as I need it so it bounced. I then spent the next 45 minutes trying to figure out who BCR was and how I could get in touch with them, or whether I should cancel the card - took the edge off the restaurant meal I was having with friends at the time. I finally realised BCR was the manager of the Wanaka house so I called them only to be told they were trying to take a security deposit. I don't know where they told me that was going to happen, but a courtesy message through my booking provider would have allayed my fears. So, although I like the facility and would stay again, I hated the admin approach they use.

We had some issue with booking. The unit was double booked but they settled it and offered another unit at albert town. 3 minutes drive away luckily.

Nothing

This apartment is on the ground floor. It’s a great place to stay when you have a car. It had everything that you would need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms had heated flooring and heated towel racks. Bed was comfortable. The location was peaceful. It is in a residential area so you get a nice community feel. Great for family with kids. Most things were only a 5-10min drive away.

Parking location isn’t great. When you exit the apartment, your parking spot isn’t right outside. you have to walk around to the back. The parking spot faces your lounge room. But, you can’t enter into the apartment from that side. Instructions on where to park needs to be clearer especially if you arrive later in the evening and it’s dark outside. The en-suite bathroom tap runs really slow.

Property was good only thing was no water pressure in bathroom…

Parking wasn’t ideal need a gate off of the deck so you wouldn’t need to walk right around the building to access your vehicle

A nice, comfortable apartment for our group of 4, travelling around the South Island in a car. Otherwise distance from town could be an issue.

The process was new to me and the instructions were a little confusing. Turned out the process was a little confusing with an inconvenient parking spot and teh need to preregister ID via a third party....something I wasn't very comfortable with and may be a factor to consider in future.

the apartment could have done with some espresso cups but other than that the kitchen was well appointed. The sink tap in one of the bathrooms had such low pressure it was almost unusable.

It was modern, clean and well equipped.

While worth the money overall, it seems relatively expensive given it’s out of Wanaka’s main town.

Brand new, spotless, very well equipped, included food for breakfast. Beds really comfortable.

A bit further out of town than I expected but in a brand new estate which was clean and tidy.

Good specs and materials used in the fit-out, generous living and kitchen spaces.

One of the bedrooms do not have openable windows(ventilation relies on a wall grille) and feels a bit stuffy on summer days. Showers could have had shampoo & soap holders installed.

Clean & tidy

No

Modern, clean apartment, excellent amenities and well sound proofed from adjoining apartments, although I could hear the bathroom from apartment upstairs.

Small details like a box of tissues were not available. Also the shampoo and soaps provided were very watery.

Beautiful location, well equipped and comfortable, space for the whole family

House was amazing - very well presented and comfortable

Management was disgraceful. Bedding configuration not as in booking and they did not even try to rectify but instead blamed me for their error. Very poor communication skills - email replies were clearly automated with no sincerity in them at all. I would highly recommend people look into this management team before you put your house in their hands. Would never book anything managed by them again

Very new! The decor is modern and cozy, with everything we needed. It's a 7-minute drive to Wanaka town center and about 45 minutes to Cardrona. Every day after skiing, I would prepare dinner while the kids watched TV. The washer is very new, with a built-in dryer function, which was extremely convenient. There are two bathroom, one is with the master room!

The parking situation is quite inconvenient. The parking spot is on the other side of the entrance, so after unloading our belongings, I had to drive around to the back and then walk back to the house. This was particularly inconvenient when it was raining. Additionally, both the front and back of the house face parking lots, so if you open the curtains during the day, it feels a bit strange. However, the entire community is quite new, and taking a walk around the area is very peaceful.

Location was amazing, rooms were warm and beds are super comfortable.

Pillows were a bit to large but in general cannot complain as was a great stay.

The door code and directions were very easy to understand.

Nice apartment. We absolutely LOVED Wanaka region.

The instructions to find the actual apartment were terrible. Had to park in public carport but door was on opposite side. Putting some large numbers on both sides would be helpful.

Clean and comfortable

parking is not handy, weird! There should be a gate at the outdoor area for easy access to the parking lot.

Near brand new and well laid out apartment. It is about 5 minutes drive from downtown but was well worth the price. Had all the modern ammenities.

we could not get any television chanels on the main TV in the lounge.
