Apartments on Helwick

Location was great only a 5min walk to town centre and in a nice quiet spot. View was of the mountains was awesome. We had the top floor unit and was excellent.

Didn’t have all the usual kitchen consumables like we have come to expect such as alfoil, salt, cooking oil, bath soap. The ensuite needs a shower as it only has a spa bath

House was awesome, amazing views, very warm, very clean, super close to town.

Could do with a few cooking basics to save buying so much from scratch. Some cooking oil, salt and pepper for instance, bit of coffee for the machine even would have been nice to. No body wash or soap even in the shower is a bit poor.

Location was perfect and the views were amazing.

The beds were so uncomfortable. Sagging mattress and hard pillows.

We had the upstairs 3 bedroom apartment. Great size and super views towards the mountains. Very quiet location but walking distance to town. Laundry was handy and parking no problem. It was clean, comfortable and warm.

Main ensuite didn’t have a shower, spa bath only. Not a big deal.

Convenient location, warm, well laid out and comfortable. Also great to have 2 bathrooms with the two bedrooms.

Would have been useful to have some toiletries for showers and some tea/coffee.

Location was great. Easy access into town and out to the ski fields. Quiet location and good parking, easy to store skis etc in laundry

Unfortunately the drainage really needs to be sorted. The bath was disgusting after each shower as the drain would not let anything down it. I had to clean the bath twice while I was there as it clogged up with everyone's hair and dirty water. For the price we were paying this is something that should be addressed before another person stays there- the drains are clearly blocked. The same happened with the dishwasher and twice I has to restart it as the water didn't drain so the drainage issue is clearly quite major and needs sorting. If I owned the property I would be getting plumbers around before letting others stay. For the price we were paying each night I was really surprised that there was no tea and coffee or oils or salt for cooking etc. We have stayed at a number of places in Wanaka now and this has been the only place not to provide additional things like this. The second night we stayed the apartment below was very loud and kept their bathroom fan on most of the night which was noisy and disturbed our sleep. So maybe letting the apartment below know that the apartment above can hear things like that and be mindful to keep fans off after 10pm. The stairs were not highlighted till check-in- I'm glad we were all able bodied but the stairs are a huge risk with suit cases and bags in the winter. Maybe highlighting that could be a good thing prior to booking,

We’ll set up for a ski holiday! Clean, convenient location and has what you need to make a comfortable space.

Warm modern property, good heating, very comfy beds, very quiet location

Some basic elements that you would expect to find in a hotel or AirBnB were missing, which was inconvenient for travellers arriving at night and short of time. Would recommend host adds these in future, for minimal cost, and much improved guest experience. For example, there were no shower gel or shampoo provided in the bathrooms. Also no tea, coffee or sugar, despite there being an excellent coffee machine in the kitchen. Having to go without these items for first 24hrs until we could next conveniently make it to a shop was an unnecessary annoyance. Other than that, the place was excellent.

Very clean and modern. Spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids. Perfect mountain views from the living area on a clear day. Location is great for walking to restaurants and shops. Ample parking space. Easy access for roads to Cardona or Treble Cone if you are skiing.

Pillows were a bit too puffy, causing some overnight sore necks.

Great location. Perfect for teenagers with plenty of space to sack out. Well appointed. Works beautifully.

Minor issues: Needs a pair of scissors. Most food packets require them. Bedroom doors need WD40 (they squeak) If the laundry had some heating ability you wouldn’t need to dry clothes/boots in the house.

Lovely apartment, couple minutes walk from town. Didnt have any interaction with anyone, but the lockbox worked fine.

We stayed downstairs, we could sometimes hear the people walking around upstairs. Think there were possibly kids up there.

The location was brilliant and for the price we got great value for money.

Nothing

This accommodation is exceptional. We were sad to leave it. The photo’s don’t do it justice. We stayed in the top apartment and It was luxurious. Spotlessly clean. Super comfortable beds. A spa in the ensuite. All furniture and fittings excellent quality. Kitchen utensils fabulous. Views from the balcony are to die for and it is a very short walk into the town centre of Wanaka with all of the shops, restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely nothing.

Beautiful views from the deck of the sunset. Nice little walk down to the foreshore with all the restaurants and cafes.

The fact that there was only a bath and not a shower in the ensuite was a bit strange. We had to use the shower in the main bathroom and it was over the bath.

Great location only 10 mins walk to waterfront Worked well for our group. Well equipped

No toiletries apart from hand wash Cutlery was short on forks

Spacious property. Great location.

quiet location with superb views

Fabulous location to town…5 min walk. Lovely and quiet, comfortable beds, washing facilities were great.

Great location very spacious just felt like a home away from home

Very spacious and clean. The lounge area was beyond perfect for spending some relaxing time after a day out snowboarding. Incredible views from all angles.

Body soap was limited to a single bar which we shared between 3.

It was clean, well situated, comfortable beds, space and good shower.

Tea, coffee and milk would help on arrival. Instructions to access Netflix etc would help when relaxing at night.

Amazing place, great value, great location, everything was convenient and easy.

Could not speak more highly of my stay here. The location was fantastic and just a short stroll to the esplanade. The space itself was ideal for my five-night stay, with plenty of room and a great area to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The perfect place to unwind after a day out and about!

Only a little thing, but some basic items like soap, shampoo, milk and coffee would have been nice. Not a big deal though.

Great position looking out over the lake and mountains. Apartment was up stairs, well appointed, with washing machine and dryer room downstairs.

On arrival it was noted the floors hadn’t been swept or vacuumed!! The rest of the apartment was clean and tidy.

Lovely clean and quiet apartment with view across to mountains. Nice high ceilings and big windows. Easy walk to town. Cosy and warm with good wifi, kitchen facilities and laundry. Perfect size and location for our family of five.

The bin situation needs sorting. Unfortunately we discovered overflowing bins the day after bin day. The same issue was present for the downstairs apartment. Should consider a service as clearly previous guests are not taking to road. The outdoor access stairs up to the three bed apartment are reasonably steep so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Great location, a short drive or easy walk into the town. Near local restaurants and supermarket and not far from the lake. Beautiful views of the mountains from the living room. Comfortable beds, two bathrooms and full built in wardrobes. Heated bathroom floors were amazing for those cold mornings, overall spacious and modern apartment.

Dirty utensils in dishwasher and dirty towels in washing machine when we arrived. Unfortunately a lack of necessary items such as toilet paper, soap etc.

Very comfortable, warm place within easy walking distance to town. Stunning view of mountains and sunset!

Not a biggie but basic tea/coffee supplies would be the icing on the cake!

Close to town but very private. Staff were very helpful

Location, views, clean

No shower in ensuite. Lock box code not provided before arrival. Had to waste time chasing code.

Great location, quiet and amazing views. Comfortable beds and great kitchen and cooking facilities.

We didn’t have hand soap in all bathrooms and not all the windows (6 and 2) opened due to a fault- only minor issues.

Great location, friendly and helpful host.

Nothing to complain about

nice tidy and close to central with onsite parking.

Be clear which apt is upstairs and which is down.

Awesome location with great off street parking. So awesome and close to town. Great shower pressure and comfy beds.

It would have been great to have access to a broom or vacuum cleaner as we were there for a week. Also trivial, but making sure there's enough toilet paper and that the wheelie bins could fit our rubbish. They were over flowing when we arrived. Otherwise though, we loved out stay.
