Ski rental requirements can be arranged with companies in Wanaka and Queenstown, who will deliver gear ready for the slopes. Peter & Jenny Sutherland are on-site.

“In my opinion, its location near Lake Wanaka and the town center makes it ideal for exploring the area; plus, the lake views and on-site parking are definite perks. The self-catering apartments, though compact, are suitable for longer stays, especially with the helpful staff. It's a solid choice for those wanting both convenience and access to Wanaka's attractions.”
