Adam's proactive communication before our arrival made finding the place and entering it a breeze, and we felt well-prepared. Upon arrival, we found the place a bit messy from previous guests. However, Adam responded immediately, apologized, and arranged for the cleaning team to come. He even offered us another property, but since the town was nearby, we took a stroll. By the time we returned, the place was spotless. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was pristine. The home felt like a 5-star hotel with all the coziness of a home. The highlight was the stunning view, with Lake Wanaka and its majestic mountains surrounding us. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets so much that we didn’t even miss the TV! A place that made our memories of our trip to Wanaka even more special. Highly recommend, price is worth every penny.

Highly recommended. Immaculate accommodation, great support from Host. Property owners very nice and kind. This property is slightly out of town - 40 minute walk, but we very much enjoyed the location.

We had a great stay with our three young children. The kids especially loved the bike jump park right opposite the place. It was clean and tidy, great layout of the bedrooms, comfy beds.

It was a truly wonderful stay in this apartment in Wānaka. Everything was spotless, very well maintained, and beautifully modern. The space is thoughtfully designed, peaceful, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was a perfect place to relax and feel at home while exploring the area. The owner was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even more special. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Wānaka - it was simply perfect.

We were a family of five across three generations and the house suited us very well both as regards living space as well as bedrooms and bathrooms. The property was well situated, very spacious and clean. Easy to get into Wanaka and surrounds. Excellent views from the deck. Good parking. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed the stay at the cottage so much! The location is within walking distance to the center of Wanaka. It was very spacious and clean. We would recommend the place to everyone traveling to Wanaka.

A beautiful, well presented home. This place is a wonderful well kept secret. Home is very well presented and extremely clean. The views are absolutely amazing. We were worried that the photographs only focused on the good parts of the house and left off the ordinary. That definitely wasn’t the case, everything is just great and it would be impossible to photograph the whole lot.

Overall this is an amazing experience. It has the best view of lake Wanaka and surrounding mountains. Just relax with a glass of wine of coffee in front of the view. The house is very well equipped and you will not miss anything. All the decor and amenities are great - and in great condition. The only item that is normally there and wasn't was the T.V. and we just watched the view instead :-) Internet is super fast - great for uploading photos and syncing. The best we have seen during our travelling in NZ. The bed and its linen are also the best we have experienced in our NZ travel.

Our family of five had an excellent stay at the Cottage Hideaway. The place was roomy and spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The private garden was very nice and made the cottage feel secluded and private, yet it was within walking distance of the beach, town centre and an abundance of great food and coffee. We especially loved the style of the place, cosy with vibrant colours, comfortable rustic furniture both indoors and outside and a great layout. Absolutely recommend!
