Immaculate and well thought out. So comfortable, quiet and cozy. We would have increased our stay if there had been availability.

Amazing location, amazing tiny home, so comfortable and Hayley was amazing at looking after us

Walnut on Russel was like a little home away from home. It actually did remind me of my own home, only on a smaller, tidier scale! The cabin had a cozy little lounge and kitchenette (with dishwasher), with a fabulous bathroom that also had laundry facilities (with detergent). The bed was incredibly comfortable, with a huge fluffy duvet, a spacious wardrobe and electric blanket. Parking was right next to the cabin. There was a bottle of wine on arrival, meaning i didn't have to go out to get one that night! Such a lovely surprise! I also really appreciated the boot dryers provided. Even though I didn't get to use my ski boots as there was no snow yet, I did go exploring and wound up tramping through creeks each day. The boot dryers dried my boots out for the next day! It was also a very short walk into town for breakfast and dinner each day. I will definitely stay again.
Honestly, the issues were so minor they are barely worth mentioning. I needed to put all the blinds down for privacy, and the rain head on the shower didn't work (I had to use the mounted handheld one instead). Again, if feels silly bringing these things up because the place was fantastic!
Location, cleanliness and facilities were amazing. Really appreciated the thoughtful niceties - walnuts from the tree outside, heated blankets, heated tiling in the bathroom and the shoe dryers/warmers, especially in the cold/wet weather!

Great location and a little bit of luxury in Wanaka.
Manager - not friendly and we saw here being rude to another guest
Such a welcoming, cosy stay. Close to walk into town, plenty of info. Beds super comfy.
Nothing
Modern fit outs , heated floor in bathroom & stacked up well.
Pricing on the higher side.
Great location, well stocked, and luxurious!
It would be nice to have different pillow options for those who don’t like extra fluff pillows.
Excellent central location. Everything was easy and seamless from check in to check out. Clearly a lot of thought had gone into making the property comfortable, ergonomic and presentable.
We loved everything about this property. Its design, fitout and amenities were clearly well considered. The location is great for access to the center of Wanaka - a short walking distance. The property itself is stand-alone, so you don't hear neighbours through the walls. The sitting chairs, couch and bed are all very comfortable. The bathroom is accessible so it is large and has a washer/dryer and large shelf for toiletries. The bedroom is a great size with a wardrobe and drawers. And Walnut on Russell has one thing that no other property we've stayed in has (except for Sofitel in Beverly Hills): motion-activated night lights to get to the bathroom. Such a logical and inexpensive feature, yet not usually available. Walnut on Russell is a real gem. It should be a wonderful global brand!!! We would stay here again and would highly recommend it to everyone - and Wanaka itself is a great place to visit. We loved it too.
An electrical outlet under the table would be great. That's about all that I can think of!
Outstanding haven. Everything has been thought of. Super cosy, comfy bed. Very well appointed kitchen. Short walk to town.. Can’t wait to come back!

非常满意,简直是完美的一次住宿。位置非常棒。内部设施、装修也是完美!我很少会评价,但是这次真的太棒了!我非常喜欢!
没有需要改进的地方
溫馨舒適的空間、絕佳的地理位置
廚房設備稍嫌簡陋,沒有烤箱。
Lovely, well equipped compact units - just what was required for our stay. Great location. Yummy walnuts a bonus.

太喜欢这个小木屋了,房间干净漂亮无异味,地段好,闹中取静,步行瓦纳卡镇中心才9分钟的步行时间,周围生活便捷,有小型超市和餐厅,离supermarket也才十几分钟的步行时间。工作人员友善,总之很推荐。
設備裝潢很新 有自己的停車位

Very comfortable and clean. It has every modern utility to make your stay great. The location was perfect just a 5 minute walk to downtown. Hayley, our host, was very nice and helpful.
Really pretty property, clean and well equipped. A quick walk to city centre.
Fantastic amenities. Location was brilliant too being just a short walk away from the main drag. One of our favourite stays across NZ

An outstanding property, within 5 minutes’ walk to the CBD. New, bright, cosy, well-designed, and generously appointed, this lovely, private accommodation is Wanaka’s best-kept secret. We are frequently in town for multi-day events and have stayed at many hotels and AirBnB’s… and this is the best yet. Even includes off-street parking. Highly recommended!
Great location. Plenty big enough for what we were after. New facilities
Could possibly be a little cleaner. Was a bit of hair lying around when we arrived. Apart from that, everything was good

所有东西都很用心与很精致,设施也很完善,该有的什么都有,以及免费的固定停车位,房东人也非常好,总的来说这里的处处设计我都很喜欢。真的很喜欢这里!我能感受到房东的用心与善意。下次来瓦纳卡我还会这里住!
烘干洗和洗衣机的清洁不到位,特别是烘干机的滤网有非常多的毛絮,我在用之前清理了很久..
Great Decor, very spacious & comfortable for 2 people. These chalets have been very well thought out. Great kitchen & lounge-room. Kitchen was brilliant with coffee machine & pods. Fully self contained if we wanted to cook. Loved the Washing Machine & Dryer & bonus washing powder. Only 5 mins walk to cafes & food trucks. We would stay here again with no hesitation.
There was issues with the door code, we contacted Hayley & she rectified it within the hour & was very apologetic, was a minor hiccup.
We loved everything about this home. It had everything and more. Beautifully decorated and close to town.
Location, parking, nice decor, fully equipped kitchen to help with self catering, storage space, very comfortable bed
I would say that whilst it is excellent, it is a little pricey in my opinion
Hayley was extremely helpful and went out of her way to post some items we had left behind. The unit is spotless, attractively decorated, comfortable and has everything you need including washer/dryer. Perfect!
Nothing
Alles was perfect, locatie loopafstand naar alles, de ruimte, fijne bedden, mooie kast voor je kleding met een uitschuifbare spiegel, over alles was goed nagedacht! We hebben hier 5 nachten geslapen en wilden hier nog wel langer blijven!
Fresh & modern , great facilities, close to town. Great people.
A beautiful (not so) little cottage! Communication was excellent (thanks Hayley!). The cottage has got everything you need and more, and is very cosy and pleasant. Beds are very good. It is very conveniently located to downtown Wanaka with parking on site. We would go back anytime!
Great property. Beautiful "tiny home" modern design, but specious and comfortable.. Just steps to town but on a quiet street. Loved my stay!
Was a bit on the pricey side, but perhaps to be expected in high season.
Our stay at Walnut on Russell was perfect. The space was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed and more (laundry and a dishwasher were a luxury). We greatly appreciated the recommendations Dan, Gin, and Hailey shared as these helped to shape our time in town.
The cabin was great. New, clean, modern and cozy. Perfect location!
Everything was great
We loved our two night stay here. It’s a short 5 minute walk into town, and the unit itself was perfect for us. It’s well-designed, cozy, and the in-unit washer/dryer was a game changer for us on a long road trip. We received confirmation messages from the property manager (who works just next door) leading up to our stay, and knew that if we had any questions, we’d be taken care of!
Nothing :)
Beautifully done up cabin with modern, high quality furnishings. There was underfloor heating! Heated towel rails. There was a bag of walnuts (Walnut on Russell eh eh?) and a bottle of red to welcome us, which was a very lovely touch. Compendium was helpful to start us off. Great location, easy walk into town but far away enough that it’s quiet.
Staying at Walnut on Russell feels more like being invited to a friend’s own house. The lodge is carefully designed to be cozy and comfortable. And it is well equipped with everything from a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher to adequate tablewear and kitchenwear. The place is located in a residential area, so it's very quiet during the night; but it is also close enough to the town center, supermarkets and those popular food trucks, all within walkable distance. Hayley, the manager, has always been ready and more than willing to help. Highly highly recommend! 小木屋超漂亮超温馨,躺在床上就能看见窗外的落樱缤纷太浪漫了!还赠送了一袋他们自己种的核桃和一瓶本地红酒!超推荐的宝藏民宿了。
Nothing. We love it!
Lovely and new, well equipped, great (and quiet!) location for exploring the area and walking into lovely Wānaka. Thoughtful extras and recommendations!

Modern and well located. Easy walk to town.
Sehr modern, liebevoller Empfang, gemütliche Einrichtung und Holz wirkt sehr edel. Haben uns wohl gefühlt trotz kleiner Punkte die bei einem etwas niedrigeren Preis sekundär gewesen wären.
Preis im Verhältnis zu hoch - Staub an den Armaturen im Bad nicht gut geputzt was bei der Preislage nicht i. Ordnung ist. Terasse hat keine Sonne und der Standort ist nicht so weitläufig wie auf den Fotos. Nebenliegende Cottages direkten Einblick wenn Jalousien oben sind.
I loved this place. It won me over with the generous sized soft towels! And the shower was great. It is quality throughout with thoughtful touches. An easy walk to restaurants and the lake front.
Everything......... home from home!.........very comfortable and quality.......great job Bob!

Good location, close enough to walk to cafes and shops but on a quiet side road. The cabin itself is very comfortable, super clean and well equipped. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
The cabin ins't serviced which wasn't an issue for us at all but for anything more than a 2-3 night stay some additional dishwasher tablets and kitchen supplies would be helpful.
Die drei Häuschen sind modern, sehr komfortabel, durchdacht und luxuriös ausgestattet. Es gibt einen separaten Wohnraum mit einer vollständigen Küche, ein modernes Badezimmer in dem auch eine Waschmaschine und ein Wäschetrockner untergebracht sind, sowie ein Schlafzimmer mit breitem Bett. Mehr kann man sich nicht wünschen. Direkt vor den Hütten sind reservierte Parkplätze. Die Häuser liegen innenstadtnah. Die Managerin Hayley ist per email jederzeit erreichbar und kümmert sich innerhalb weniger Minuten. Der Aufenthalt war ein echtes Highlight meiner Reise und ich würde jederzeit wieder dorthin gehen.

Schönes kleines Chalet etwas außerhalb ,Parken direkt am Haus, ruhig,netter Empfang mit Nüssen,
Fast eine 10
とてもかわいらしく快適でした。 ベッドから星が見え素晴らしかったです。ワナカ中心部にも近くよかったです。次回は長期滞在したいです。
洗面所やシャワーが少し使いづらかった
Very clean and quiet, close to town, comfortable beds, comfy towels
It is such a beautiful and brilliant place! We had 3 nights here and it is really convenient to go to the lake, food and views. The owner and manger prepared the walnut and wine for us! And I really want to say thank you cuz Hayley helped us to find our lost watch and mailed it to us. This is such a great cabin and management team!
If you are staying in beautiful Wanaka, then you must stay here . Its incredible . Probably one of the loveliest places we have stayed in, and we travel alot . It was spotless . Location was perfect . 2 min walk into town to lovely restaurants bars cafes and shops . The owners have done a brilliant job of furnishing the place . Its styled to perfection . The bottle of Pinot on arrival and the delicious fresh walnuts off their tree was a lovely touch . If we are ever lucky enough to visit Wanaka again we know where we will be staying !! Thanks guys for having us .
Couldnt fault anything !! it was perfection
Absolutely beautiful cabin, modern, clean, excellent location. Even in Snow conditions the cabin maintained heat. During my time in Nz this was hands down the best accommodation we stayed in. Highly recommended.

• The location was fantastic — less than a 10-minute walk to the town centre, and only about 5 minutes down the road there were plenty of great food options, including food trucks. • Despite being close to town and next door to a backpackers, the area was quiet and peaceful. • The welcome book was full of helpful information and local advice, and we loved the personal touch of learning about the walnut tree (and being left some to try!). • The cabin itself was stylishly and thoughtfully designed, with excellent temperature control and a cosy atmosphere. • The bed and sitting area were both very comfortable, making it a relaxing place to unwind after exploring. • It was great having access to laundry facilities, which came in handy during our stay. • The toiletries provided were great quality, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a fantastic stay in a beautiful location, and we’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in Wanaka.
• The accommodation isn’t serviced, which is a small inconvenience for a 3-night stay — a quick tidy-up or a bin change would have been appreciated.
The unit was beautiful, cozy, super clean, and comfortable. You have your own parking spot and the welcome book gives you a lot of useful info. Check-in info was very easy and was sent in a timely manner. We got to meet the owner Dan right before leaving and it was such a pleasure talking with him.
The only things that were a bummer were: - the unit we had was ADA compliant so the bathroom was too and when you were taking a shower water was all over the bathroom floor - I think that's a New Zealand thing but there are no napkins or paper towels in the kitchen so it is a bit awkward when you are eating and can't wipe your mouth or hands. But not a deal breaker. You just need to be prepared.
Beautifully appointed, immaculately clean and easy walking distance to restaurants
It was very windy during our stay and there was a weird rattling noise that I suspect was the loose corrugated roof of the next door backpackers
Place was beautifully built.
Nothing.
Good location. Quiet but close to everything. Nice cabin. New and clean. Perfect stay.
The accommodation was lovely, it had everything we needed in a central location.
Really cute cabin, great location!

Genuinely the most amazing place we’ve stayed as a couple, it’s cosy and well thought out, close to town and just has a beautiful vibe to it that’s hard to match
Modern, quiet, warm, able to walk to all the eating places . Had everything you could need….it was perfect ❤️ oh the walnuts were yum 😂
Nothing we loved it..
Well insulated and warm/cosy. Walking distance to town. Clean. Greeted with a cute bag of fresh walnuts from their tree. Parking right out front- massive car spaces. Easy to get into the property.
Lovely new chalet, very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Close to shops and a short walk to the lake
Super modern whilst still having a rustic, extremely cosy feel. Everything is brand new and super clean - gorgeous rainfall shower and unbelievably comfortable bed! You could stay here comfortably for a week and explore Wānaka & surrounding areas. Can’t speak of this place more highly!
Excellent quality interior. Great central location.
Would have been better with a view but you can't have everything.
Clear communication for check in and out. Facility’s were beautiful, very clean and very comfortable bedding. Many additional extras such as heated floors and towel rack. Easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants and designated parking spot. And a combo washer dryer! Saved our lives with all the hiking clothes! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
