Wanaka's Private Escape

Such a lovely stay! Great little kitchen and having a washing machine was awesome. Very comfy bed and only a 25 min walk from the town centre

Nothing :))

There was a washing machine, (with washing powder) and drying room. A variety of tea and herbal tea and coffee was supplied, even a jug of fresh milk in the fridge. A lovely big king size bed with fresh, quality sheets and a warm, thick duvet.

Absolutely delightful unit totally on its own and beautifully appointed

It was all wonderful so nothing to complain about except possibly a couple of hangers on the hooks of the bedroom would be a good idea

John is a wonderful host. He met us at the driveway entrance and gave us very clear instructions by email on how to find the property. We stayed for four nights during the first week of August. The unit is very well designed, with no condensation on the windows. It is warm, dry, and very well insulated. All the essential appliances and kitchenware are provided, including a washing machine. It is super quiet, with an incredibly comfortable bed and high-quality bedding and linens. There is no dryer, but the drying room works just as well. We left our snowboarding gear and clothing there overnight, and everything was dry by morning. The layout is exactly as shown in the photos. It is a private, standalone, self-contained unit, and it stayed warm throughout our stay. Bonus: We took lots of photos of rabbits, quails, and sparrows around the driveway. It's a pleasant walk to the lake and town centre through the golf course (about 12–15 minutes at my slow walking pace). We will definitely stay here again whenever we visit Cardrona or Treble Cone Ski Area.

There is nothing. It is so perfect that, always booked out.

Super friendly host, very comfortable property, cosy, good kitchen and washing machine

Lovely spacious and private.

Maybe a heat pump would be better, instead of a floor heater.

在一片非常幽静的树林后面，秋景非常美，房间干净整洁，洗漱用品齐全，房东儿子很客气人也很好

非常好的住宿，非常好的房东。住宿有单独的小院，被美丽的树篱环绕，屋前还有薰衣草。屋子温馨整洁，各项设施一应俱全。屋子的床很大、沙发也非常棒，让我们可以得到充分的休息。停车位就在屋子旁边宽敞且便捷。地理位置十分便捷，距离湖边、餐饮、超市都很近。

环境优美，房间干净，11点退房很方便。

It was peaceful and beautiful little corner of wanaka. Lovely listening and watching the birds. The place was very clean and comfortable. John made us very welcome.

It’s set in its own private part of the garden, so not overlooked at all. Very clean and comfortable with good facilities and a covered line to dry washing.

It’s a 30 minute walk into the main town, so we drove there. Lake Wanaka is beautiful, but no view of it from the property.

Excellent roomy 1 bedroom cottage fully supplied with everything you would need. Very quiet and private,. John who greeted me was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent location, well fitted out accommodation, comfy bed, very quiet & peaceful. John met us in person to hand us the keys & was super friendly.

Nothing. All great.

Everything

Nothing to dislike

We had an amazing stay at Wanaka Private Escape. The location was perfect, and we truly enjoyed the peace and tranquility. It was an excellent base for exploring Wanaka and the surrounding area. John and Kate were wonderful hosts, and one of the highlights of our visit was a tour of their amazing property. We would definitely recommend this place to others! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Everything was perfect

Loved the quiet private location A quality unit with all mod cons and lots of space Superb comfy bed

Nothing really

Otrzymaliśmy sporo wyrozumiałości w zakresie opóźnionego check-in od właściciela (John), za co jeszcze raz dziękujemy. Domek był w zaskakująco dobrym standardzie. Zdecydowanie rekomendujemy.

Nie dostrzegamy minusów, w szczególności biorąc pod uwagę rozsądną cenę za nocleg.

Attention to detail Great communication Comfy beds

Very nice and cosy apartment in a serene, quiet area but still close to amenities

John did a great job with this apartment unit. It really feels like a home, with all the things you need, not just a hotel. We loved sitting on the patio and out back (2 different areas to relax outside) and just listening to the Tui and Fantails sing. It was also super convenient to get to all the places we had in mind. Highly recommend.

Dit appartement is groot, voorzien van alle gemakken en ligt op een schitterende lokatie omringd door een fantastische tuin. Lopen naar wanaka is 20 minuten

Peaceful and secluded

装修温馨舒适，卧室窗外就可以看美丽的景色 停车方便，周边十分宁静

There is nothing to dislike about this beautiful residence. 20 min walk onto lake front and town. When at the apartment it's like being in your own world the silence is golden.

There's nothing to dislike.

Clean, ideally located with great facilities and amenities. Hosts were friendly and extremely helpful.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful property with everything we needed. Nice out of the way location with great amenities and games

Nothing

Clearly this is the best stay in our entire Newzealand trip. We loved everything about the stay. Mr. John is a super host and very friendly. The property is so unique with top facilities, ample space, private car parking and a lovely outdoor sit out with a beautiful mountain view. This place is the best choice for anyone, but I would highly recommend it for couples.

Nothing at all!

Location/facilities

Keys were left for us at the door.

The hosts were nice and easy to talk to, accommodating with our arrival time. The unit is private and quiet, spacious and tidy. Would have defintely stay longer if we could!

Everything was fine

Clean & comfortable. Had everything we needed. Lovely place to stay and felt very welcomed

Ruhige Lage, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter.

Die Zufahrt zum Grundstück war nicht leicht zu finden.

環境非常清幽 感覺在這裡擁有自己的一片小天地 很有歸屬感 院子的小鳥很喜歡聊天 還看到兔子跑來 夜晚可以在院子看到星空 有大電視可以看Netflix 還有很舒服的沙發 床也非常的舒服 一切都非常棒！ 我們是由房東的兒子Chris 接待，他非常親切，推薦我們爬iron mountain,還有在孤獨樹附近走走，真的非常美 最感謝的是我們在這裏完成了自助婚紗，我們在車道，以及房東借我們的花園拍照，這裏的花園美的就像是大自然版的婚紗基地，有櫻花、雪山、綠波地，真的非常感謝，在這裏留下很舒適又溫馨的蜜月旅行❤️

Absolutely spotless and private, and beautifully appointed. I loved the fact it looked like a converted garden shed, until you step inside and it is wow!

Lovely quiet location and plenty of space

Location and facilities

Took a while to heat up the place

Easy key pickup and run through of the property with the host on arrival. Great location and well setup for a weeks stay in beautiful Wanaka. Nice and private, plenty of space, and drying room a huge benefit when winter sports are involved.

Our stay at 30 Golf Street was fantastic! The heaters were excellent, and the services were amazing. We loved the laundry and cooking facilities, plus the TV and books for entertainment. Plenty of parking was available, and the host was amazing and kind. The outdoor space was great. Highly recommend!

Nice and private accommodation. That is spacious, modern, and comfortable. All the amenities we required for our mountain getaway. Added bonus was the drying room, ideal to dry the snow clothing. Would definitely stay there again, and do plan to.

None, I absolutely loved the accommodation.

The bed was quite firm/hard for our liking

This was a great place for us. Near to Wanaka centre but far enough away to be nice and quiet. Lovely surroundings. Everything we needed for a short stay. Lovely comfortable bed.

Very homely and comfortable. Owner provided games such as bananagrams which we enjoyed!

Perhaps the signage 30 at the walnut tree could be bigger and more obvious.

Excellent very clean and lovely big room and a bedroom. Very quiet Would definitely stay again

Nothing

Glorious position among the trees, birds everywhere

Lovely place around trees . Very well equipment kitchen, comfortable bathroom. Very big and comfortable bed . Friendly owner 🙂 It was our best accommodation during our travel around South Island

The property is a standalone cottage suite nestled in a private and peaceful lot behind the owner’s main house. With its own driveway, it offers both convenience and seclusion. Equipped with all the essential amenities, it provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The bugs sometimes would fly inside when we open the cottage door.

Such a well thought-out and beautiful property! Privacy, space, comfort, and a wonderful garden! John, the host, is very attentive and responsive, and even left us a little welcome gift to celebrate our honeymoon! Only a couple minutes drive to town, the location was excellent. We would love to come back to Wanaka's Private Escape.

We had an excellent 4 night stay, in this lovely unit. It is at the rear of the owner’s large property, is very private and has loads of parking. Great location behind the golf course. Really quiet. Beautiful gardens. Outdoor spaces to sit. The unit itself is practical, comfortable and stylish. A huge king bed, reading lights, books, good little kitchen, great sofa, a tv (we didn’t use), a washing machine (we did use), it’s all good quality and carefully selected. John is a kind and communicative host. A fabulous stay, thanks John.

It’s what it said on line a private escape

The birds didn’t sing all the time

Lovely decor and peaceful

Spacious, peaceful, clean, well equipped.

There was nothing to dislike

The name says it all. It is very private, spacious, has a clothes washer and all the amenities.

Not one thing

Rear Outdoor area had great views but was not looked after or clean Could be amazing. Bbq did not look like had been used for long time

The service is great

John was a wonderful and friendly host. He met us to show us to the property even though we arrived late outside of the check in window, and he also popped down to say goodbye and make sure that we had a good time when we left. The unit is comfy and cozy with everything we needed, and it also had great privacy because it's located by itself at the end of a lane. We also loved the close proximity to town, it's a very short drive and easy to pop pack for a rest.

Nothing

Great little private nook Friendly host

This property is a small unit on a family acreage. The unit has been very nicely done and has everything you could want. The property is surrounded by the most beautiful gardens, was clean and very comfortable. John was an hospitable host providing us with everything we could have wanted but was still unobtrusive. It was about a 20 minute walk into Wanaka with everything Wanaka has to offer. I would definitely stay again. Such a lovely and peaceful location.

This was a lovely private guest house. Wish we had stayed longer.

A lovely quiet location with all the amenities we needed. It was good to be met by the host and shown around.

Nothing.

The property far exceeded our expectations. It was private, nestled among beautiful gardens and a stunning driveway! The unit had everything you needed for an extended stay with high quality toiletries, bedding, linen and large fluffy towels. It also had a great range of books, with many of my favourite authors. John, the host, was attentive and informative. An amazing find.

It was perfect

Met by host John who was welcoming and informative. Facilities and location were spacious and comfortable.

Lovely quiet self contained accomodation down private access. 15 minutes walk to Wanaka shoreline. Loved everything about the place. Clean, comfy bed . Plenty of space. Comprehensive cutlery/crockery and cooking equipment. Great shower.

It was so private and spacious and only a few minutes drive to Wanaka. The place was spotless, well appointed and we were able to do our washing and hang it out easily. A great experience all round.

Perfect

Nothing loved it

The drive up from the road through an avenue of arched oak trees was very beautiful. The proprietor, John, showed us to the apartment as it was at the back of a large estate and explained everything. The apartment was large, and very private in a lovely garden setting. It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We appreciated the undercover parking as it was very wet when we were leaving. We really enjoyed our stay.

Finding the address was a bit tricky despite the instructions we received from the proprietor. We put the house number, 30, into Google maps, but google was not very accurate. The proprietor had warned us about this, but the house number is on the letterbox, which was set back from the road and we missed it twice. We learnt to look for the “aged persons” road sign (there is a retirement village almost next door), which was right next to the driveway, and we were fine from then on. Apart from this fairly minor point, everything else was great.

Our stay at Wanakas Private Escape was fantastic! The property is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful and secluded setting with stunning views. The accommodation was cosy and warm, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and it was also clean, stylish, and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. John, the host, was attentive and ensured everything was perfect, adding thoughtful touches to make the experience even better. It was the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and scenic getaway.

Beautiful spot and very comfortable

We had an exceptional stay that exceeded our expectations! John, the host, was incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating. Initially, we were concerned about the lack of air conditioning, but John reassured us that we wouldn't feel cold. True to his word, he provided three heaters in the room, making it cozy and comfortable. The room was immaculately clean, and its proximity to Wanaka town centre and the Cardrona and Treble Cone was a huge bonus. John took the time to show us around the lovely place, making us feel right at home. We highly recommend this accommodation and appreciate John's outstanding hospitality!

Very comfortable property with everything you need for your stay. Wonderful hearing the birds!

Absolutely everything. Although the property is on the Hosts land, we had 100% privacy and really felt like the home was our home away from home. Will definitely be staying again if it is available! The covered carport was so great, protected our cars windscreen from the cold morning frost so we could hop in and go!

Nothing at all. The stay was faultless. Thank you so much John!

Warm, quiet, comfortable with great books!

The unit is set in mature gardens with tui and bell bird song all day long. The sofa is the most comfortable one we have experienced! We loved spending a few days here relaxing and skiing. There is plenty of space and completely private. I would love to spend a few months here!

This property was cosy and warm and very spacious with well thought out amenities.

Accomodation had everything we needed for a great stay. A great size and comfy bed, plenty of heating, well-equipped kitchen and positioned in beautiful surrounding. John was lovely and showed us everything on arrival. Would happily stay here again.
