We had 3 nights here as part of our honeymoon. It was an amazing stay! Amazing room, very nice Jacuzzi (24 hours), free laundry (great for travelers) and the best part is the very warm and kind staff! Alan and Josie were very nice and friendly towards us and they helped us get by

Home away from home. Such a cozy and inviting atmosphere just steps away from the lake. Really lovely hosts and, if you can get breakfast it’s phenomenal. I stayed at 15 locations throughout New Zealand and this was my favorite of all. I was disheartened to leave.

Our visit was spectacular. The location perfect being just a bit out of the town center and backed up to a beautiful park. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. Allan was a wonderful host. The nearby activities were ample and very enjoyable. We would absolutely return.

Very nice rooms, warm and cosy. Bed was big and comfortable. Staff were wonderful. Hot tub was private and seperate spaces for bbq and out door fire. Solid built place in a very nice setting of trees and lush grass. Easy walking to the lake, parks and to the township.

I’ve been coming to Wanaka for over 10 years, and this is the best place I’ve every stayed at. Comfortable, welcoming, excellent amenities and at a competitive rate. The locality, suggestions and excellent convenience makes for a perfect stay - 5 star rating!

Beautiful accomodation, great location, nice kitchen, cosey lounge. Allan gave us some epic advice for bars and restaurants. We borrowed some bikes and rode around town. Can easily walk into town. Rooms beautifully serviced. Nice spa and barbecue and lovely lawns to hang out on when it’s sunny!

My wife and I spent two nights at Wanaka Homestead and wish it could have been a couple nights more. We booked the Lismore Cottage, which was far more than we needed (3BR, 2BA) but talk about comfortable! It was downright lavish, and well priced for all we got. Location is super convenient to the lake, with a nice walk through a beautiful tree and flower-filled park, just 15 minutes walk from the town center. Bedding and furnishings were outstanding. Our host, Allan, was absolutely terrific - welcoming, engaging, with great stories to tell and spot-on tips for dining and entertainment in town. Highly recommend Allan's restaurant, Francesca's Italian Kitchen, and Pembroke Wine & Spirits, which he recommended, the latter looking like a bottle shop but featuring amazing cheese and charcuterie boards and terrific wine, beer and gin tastings. Highly recommend Wanaka Homestead as the perfect Wanaka home base!

We were booked to stay at Wanaka Homestead Lodge and Cottages for three nights in early July. Unfortunately the day before our stay, my husband tested positive for Covid and we were forced to cancel our stay. I phoned and spoke to Alan. I asked him about his cancellation policy and he said he would call me back later that day. I acknowledged that I expected to pay a portion of the stay during our phone call. When my Visa account came through we had been charged for 3 nights less $30, a total of $1170. I phoned to discuss this with Alan and was told he would call me back. This did not happen. I have also sent two emails asking Alan to contact me to discuss the charge. Both were unanswered. I appreciate Covid is a very difficult time for those in hospitality but to completely ignore my attempts at communication is extremely rude and not unacceptable in my view.

Unfortunately Wanaka homestead didn’t live up to expectations. We had relatives rave about the place (mind you, this was some time ago for them) and we gave it our best shot. Little did we know, it was like staying in a fossil. Great location and great aesthetic from the exterior - it had far less to offer on the inside. A run down, in dire need of maintenance; establishment. The disappointment began prior to arriving - being told only days before arriving that the ‘BNB’ portion of our accomodation would not be included due to short staffing and other matters. This is highly disappointing when you’re staying in a BNB. With minimal kitchen facilities, this definitely was off to a rocky start. Checked in, greeted by a woman who seems to work full time on site, but not an owner. She was polite and well mannered - showed me around. Then left me to it. The room was dated and needed some extreme renovation work. The interior in whole, of the entire homestead, was in need. Dim, dark and no warmth to say the least. It was cold and no vibrancy. After this a sequence of events incurred - a towel rail falling off the wall, our laundry being picked up off the floor of the shower (after being told to leave it on the floor to be replaced) and re hung (wet and dirty) by the cleaners. The shower head was spraying in all sorts of areas and the fridge couldn’t keep a pot of yoghurt or water cold to save its life. The heat pump downstairs also made a continuous noise of churning like it was about to fall off the wall (so much so it was turned off after a few minutes). Disappointed to say the least, never met the owners once or saw them onsite. The place is on the market for sale - has been for some time. Can clearly see why. Will not be returning unless something drastic is changed. A major overhaul is needed. For $1200 - something dollars, definitely feeling ripped off. A big ‘stay away’ from us. We’d love our money back.
