A house built as a conjoined with two separate apartment inside. Superb and luxurious to enjoy, never knew that such model exist. Recommended for anyone visiting Wanaka over three days period or a weekend staycation holiday.

BEWARE - this is not luxury and it's run by amateurs. Our experience was so bad we tried to find alternative accommodation but Wanaka was fully booked so had to stick with it. There is a foyer shared with another apartment. From there the front door to each apartment has frosted glass panels and at night you can see in. The fire didn't work so x2 people came later that night and fixed it which took half an hour out of our evening. To apologise they gave two of us ONE beer. Wow thanks. Apartment is dated, uncomfortable bed in a horrible dark room, cooking is grim with the camp cooker - 20 minutes to boil an egg for breakfast. Two sachets of instant coffee for two nights for x2 people. I did get more when I asked. The next morning the cleaner was next door. She parked right outside our apartment and we had to climb over cleaning buckets and a clothes rack to get out of our apartment. She spent hours slamming in and out of the foyer and we could see her talking on her phone outside our glass panel door - so intrusive. We went out for the day hoping she would be gone but when we came back and she was still there with a helper and a fridge in the foyer that we climbed around as they continued to chat right outside our glass front door. The next morning we woke up to the van parked outside our front door and a lady sweeping loudly outside the lounge window while we tried to have breakfast in peace. In the end we shut the curtains but that didn't stop her. She then decided to do some gardening outside our lounge window as well. Just zero thought, so invasive, very stressful, no privacy. It was like they hadn't used the apartments in ages, were doing major maintenance next door, took the money and we were the nuisance in their way. Their thoughtlessness and lack of pre-arrival checks absolutely ruined what we had hoped to be a special trip. I would hope with the time spent next door the people who rented that one had a better experience than we did because they were there for absolutely ages banging around.

We stayed here for a wedding and it was such a lovely apartment for the two of us. It is in a quiet complex but within easy walking distance from the very hectic Wanaka town centre. |The apartment had everything we needed for a very comfortable 5 day stay. |We would recommend this to everyone looking for a luxury base in this fabulous part of the world.

We stayed for a week in Wanaka to celebrate a friends birthday and ski at Cardrona. The Apartment was very good value, well located close to town and very clean. Liz the Manager met us on arrival for a personalised check in to ensure everything was to our expectation. Town is an easy 1.5km walk across the lakefront park and the apartments are set in a nice quiet street. Access to ski fields is easy and you even walk out to Rippon Vineyard if you wish. We want to return in summer for bush-walking and cycling

We stayed for 2 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment and found it lived up to its name of Luxury on Lansdown. Everything was beautifully clean and linen and towels were great quality. Even though there was only the 1 bathroom, having the WC separate, this was not a problem for 4 people. The bathroom products were good quality and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Wifi was free, which we found very handy and the location was not far from the beautiful Lake Wanaka. We were a little disappointed to not be able to use the coffee machine as we did not have the necessary beans (probably should let people know that they need to bring their own) and the barbie and pool area is actually 1 street up from the apartment, very nice but not very convenient when it is raining. We really enjoyed our stay, it was very comfortable and quiet.

We had 4 nights here and it was perfect for our needs. Extremely clean and comfortable (I'm always fussy about cleanliness). Great location as we could walk into town. The shared pool/bbq area was fantastic it was a peaceful relaxing place to be. We also had lots of private outdoor space attached to our unit. I highly recommend this place. I've answered the questions re a hotel which this place isn't - I'd call it a townhouse/apartment

Apartments are well appointed and very true to the photos. The gas fire place, free wifi and Netflix were all modern features you'd expect from a 4 star complex. The spa pool was very well received after a hike up to Roy Peak. A couple of small things impacted the overall score: 1. Payment policy when booked via expedia states payment taken by hotel. No other information was provided. Like the majority of hotels, I assumed that as payent was not taken at the time of the booking that we would payment on arrival however payment was taken from card the week prior 2. Stayed 4 nights, only supplied two bath towels for two guests. 3. Advertised as a King Bed, was provided a Queen 4. Limited bathroom amenities 5. If you only rent half the apartment (eg the 1 bedroom apartment or the 2) and the other apartment is also rented out, the front door is noisy and shared.

We rented a two bedroom unit and in essence found ourselves in a compact and modern two storey house with a private garden. We were greeted on arrival and found the property clean and well equipped. The decor and furniture are modern and attractive. Too often properties and attractions get excellent ratings meaning that the truly excellent do not stand out. This property does.
