Wanaka stay

We loved staying at this house with lots of room and an excellent location. The only thing I would say is there could have been more toilet paper and rubbish bags but other than that it was great!

nice place

Had a great stay. Just a bit disappointed with the internet. with unlimited broadband packages pretty standard around the country, we were a bit miffed to be limited to 1 gig per day. We all thought it a bit ridiculous.
