Wānaka Mountain Home

KerriRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Home away from home! We absolutely loved this Airbnb and would recommend. Not only is it in a great spot, but they have thought of everything to make your stay easier. No need to buy those bits and bobs that you need to take home, they have it covered. The spa was a treat, the bath had bath bombs and salts, even the guest book was well put together. Really can’t wait to return!
