Lake Wanaka is right outside the window of the room. The weather was very nice when we arrived. The sun filled the whole room and made it very warm. Warm floor, warm house. There is also a small stove that can make complementary food for babies. A very nice host who prepared a very comfortable crib for the baby. The hotel's location is great!It only takes five minutes to walk to the center. It's very convenient for eating and shopping. Just remember to make a reservation at a delicious restaurant. I really love the fantastic lake Wanaka. I will definitely come back when baby grows up!
