Alpine Meadows, Wanaka

The place was very clean and well-maintained, located in a quiet and convenient neighbourhood. One ensuite and a bunk bedroom on the ground floor, and two bedrooms sharing a bathroom upstairs. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was a nice touch.

There is no ducted heating, only a single air conditioner in the main living area and another unit located in the stairwell upstairs. A portable heater was provided in the ground floor ensuite. Nno electric blankets in all bedrooms. The bunk room particularly super cold. The home had only one TV which was encased, making it impossible to connect any external devices. Also, need to drive 5 mins to somewhere to pick up and return the key.

We did not stay in the Alpine Meadows as it was cancelled on us. But we were given an upgrade for an apartment in the Dungarvon Apartments. This apartment was amazing for the my family of 6 with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and plenty of room for relaxing after a full day of exploring beautiful Wanaka. Would recommend to stay at these apartments. I got to see the famous Wanaka tree in Lake Wanaka, we visited Puzzle World and the Wanaka Lavender farm.

Great place to relax after a busy day at the show

We were given a free upgrade and its really a wonderful place with hot tub and bbq place. Fit for a huge group family of us. Super clean, nice place. Wonderful communication with the property management too!

Actually this review is for Dungarvon apartment which was a replacement because Alpine was not available during to system booking error. The property coordinator did a good job to inform early and made this arrangement. Dungarvon looks new and clean and comfortable. I like there are attached bathrooms in all the bedrooms. The location is also very near to the restaurants and shops.

Quite a lot of insects flew in at night if we left the window open.

Good size. Quiet neighbourhood. Clean. Well stocked with cutlery and crockery. Underfloor heating in bathroom much appreciated. The toys and board games supplied was a nice surprise.

Only one TV, a separate one for kids would be nice. No ducted heat, only an air conditioner in the main living area and a second unit upstairs in the stairwell made for a cold house. No heaters or electric blankets provided for bedrooms.

House was per pictures. Relatively clean (Toilets, bedroom and kitchen was clean) except the washing area (where the washing machine / dryer was located). Full fledge kitchen provided - knives, stainless steel pots, dishwasher which made it easy to make simple meals and eat around the big dining table provided. Love that there was a big bath tub in the toilet upstairs.

There is no AC or Heating in the rooms. For the rooms upstairs, there is an AC/heater outside the door - this means in order for the bedrooms to be heated up or cooled down, you will have to sleep with the door open. For the 2 rooms downstairs, there was a portable heater in the master bedroom and none in the kids room (which felt like a freezer during winter and no way we could sleep in it). Do note that there is no shampoo or shower gel provided. Keys have to be collected and dropped off from an agent office 6mins drive away.

The property is new and really well appointed. We loved that it was on the outskirts of town which made it really easy to get to the airfield each day but it was still very easy to get down into the centre of town. The beds were really comfy.

If I am being extremely picky (and it’s really a very first world problem)… The pillows were really new and are all quite lovely and fat which suited some of our crew but some of us found them a bit too high.
