Wanaka Luxury Apartments

5.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (404)
"We stayed here with our two small kids (baby and toddler) and it was perfect enough space for the kids to play indoors but also having a little grassy area outside to explore. The location was great very quiet and safe but an easy walk into to town with lots of beautiful scenery and parks to stop along the way. The only minor issue I had was one of the bed linen cover had a few stains which was off putting but not enough that we didn’t still use it. "
