We have stayed at this B&B twice and received the same warm welcome both times. We especially liked the personal touches, homemade granola, fresh juice, homebaked cookies. The view is beautiful and visitors can enjoy it while eating on the picnic table in the garden. More

We chose the Avalanche B&B from reading the Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The room is more like a suite with a kitchen, sitting area, huge bathroom and sliding doors out the garden (where we ate our breakfast). Breakfast is self-catering where everything is provided for you in the fridge the night before so you can eat... More

The most unique characteristic about B&B is that Trish (the host) only accepts one party at a time. This is real special - the spacious room, ensuite, is equipped with small pantry and wide glass sliding door to the back garden and panoramic view of the Avalanche Glacier. Loved it! More

Lovely location, great views, friendly hosts, great facilities. Clean, comfortable, well maintained. We travelled with our 2 year old who was made feel at home and kept disappearing up the stairs into Trish's home to return laden with home baking!! Breakfast is self-catering continental style (food all provided and left in your room in the kitchenette) but really lovely and... More

A really friendly welcome from Davey & Trisha. The room was lovely with a fantastic view of the valley and Trish’s fabulous garden. The patio was a great bonus enabling you to sit outside even if it was raining. The kitchenette facility in the room was very useful as you could cook your own food if you couldn’t be bothered...

Trish & David were terrific, warm and welcoming. The B&B was spotless clean, crisp and set in outstanding panoramic views. Trish had thought of everything needed in the accommodation. Wanaka is a hub of activities, wide variety of restaurants and retains its small town feeling. Hip and happening without grunge. If you have not planned into your itinerary to spend... More
