Staying at the homestead lodge was just what was needed after staying at conventional hotels. The location was within walking distance of town, within walking distance of a winery that was fantastic. The walk there was easy and beautiful. We enjoyed their little dog douglas that greeted us each day outside our door. Very laid back place that i would... More

Great place to stay, with both charm and character. The two hosts were wonderful and ensured that we could check in even though we arrived very late. The rooms were both clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was very well made and delicious. If there was a fault, it would be that the TV was a bit small.... More

We stayed there for only one night, but if I could made another choice, I would choose to stay longer. The hosts, Carol and Ed were friendly and warm, and there little friend, Douglas, was so cute. The room is clean and comfortble, and the bed is the best one in our New Zealand trip. The breakfast is so delicious.... More

We stayed for two nights at the Lodge with four other couples for an annual get together. Ed and Carol were very welcoming and throughout our stay were excellent hosts. The breakfast was superb and we enjoyed the ability to have coffee and tea along with biscuits throughout the day. The available guest lounge was very comfortable and allowed our... More

We stayed last week at the homestead for 2 nights. The hosts Carol and Ed were very helpful and warm. We were visiting on our road trip around NZ from Australia and they gave us great advice as to where to go out for dinner and places to see. The room was large comfortable and very clean as well as... More

Our 1 night stay was excellent. When we arrived, Carol provided a full orientation of the amenities available to us, and made restaurant recommendations & then reservations for us. She upgraded us from a standard room to a cottage at no additional charge. Ed was a great breakfast host. For anyone spending time in Wanaka, I would highly recommend!

We recently stayed here for 3 nights over Easter. We all love Wanaka and even though this place was not impressive, we still enjoyed our stay. This could be an amazing place but feel that the maintenance of the whole place is lacking. We stayed in the barn cottage which is very spacious and comfortable but is looking tired and... More

We stayed only one night but wished we had planned more. Comfortable bed, first class facilities, enjoyed the spa, great location, lovely breakfast, went for a spin on their loan bikes. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for only 1 night, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone! The room was beautiful and clean, and Ed was brilliantly helpful and friendly! The breakfast was amazing and the overall surroundings were great. Ed cooked us breakfast early as we had to rush off! Wanaka is a beautiful little town and if you come here,... More
