    This was one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed! The apartment itself is super charming with all the amenities you might need. The view from the deck was unbelievable--truly remarkable. I sent a picture to a friend and they called it "paradise." The location is fantastic for Wanaka. We had stayed downtown in Queenstown, and it nice to be a few minutes removed here but still convenient to everything. But the kindness of Noelene And Bill is unmatched. My heart feels fuller from staying here. (And stomach from their delicious breakfast!!!)

    The building is beautiful and sits atop the town with a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and lakes. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided us with everything we could have wished for including hot and delicious breakfasts each morning. The interior is warm and and cozy. The driveway up the hill is tricky, but will be repaired soon.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    It was a wonderful place. Thanks to you, Wanaka has become a wonderful memory. If you go to New Zealand, you should definitely stay there. Nothing.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Very comfortable apartment with everything you could need. Bill & Noelene are amazing hosts and cannot do enough for you. Breakfast was fantastic, with daily choices, cooked to order. One day was even given freshly caught trout. View across Lake Wanaka from the huge balcony is fantastic. Great communication with directions as location could be a little tricky. Would fully recommend. Thank you Bill & Noelene for making our stay so enjoyable. Nothing, all fantastic.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Noelene and Bill are excellent hosts and made a great effort with our breakfast every day. The views are outstanding. I doubt there are better views elsewhere in Wanaka. The apartment is lovely and has everything one needs. We would love to go back there one day as we had a wonderful time.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Wonderful hosts with a brilliant apartment, a gourmet breakfast and a fully scenic vista over Wanaka. Easy access to all attractions Nothing to comment

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    A stunning apartment with amazing views of the lake and mountains. It is very comfortable and warm , with some nice touches like the robes and wine. It was really useful to have the use of laundry facilities The breakfasts are very good ... They set you up for the day, and it is all done with a lot of care. Noelene and Bill are friendly, interesting, and rightly proud of their wonderful home. We didn't want to leave, and if we were ever in NZ again, we would definitely visit here again

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    Beautiful property with stunning panoramic view, great privacy, warm & respectful hosts and top-notch breakfast!! We truly love the experience and would strongly recommend it to anyone who visits Wanaka. Nil. Everything was awesome! Shower was a bit weak but it’s not a big deal. Note: you will need a car to stay here.

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    It was quiet, self contained with the most amazing view. Nothing was too bad!

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    What a stunning place to stay in Wanaka! The view is incredible and the welcome a very warm one too.

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    Lovely hosts, interesting accommodation, well equipped and the most stunning view imaginable.

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    Probably the most stunning vista that I've ever stayed in. Breakfast like the Ritz Hotel, but with fresher ingredients. Lovely hosts Noelene & Bill. nothing

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    Incredible!! The views are STUNNING! The apartment is beautiful with really interesting architecture. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Noelene and Bill were delightful hosts. My only regret is that we didn't have time to chat with them more. They shared so many interesting details about the area and about their home. If you're coming to Wanaka and this place is available, do not hesitate. Book it!!

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    Large apartment with an amazing view Most wonderful breakfasts, delivered to our room Great location Noelene is the best

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    Amazing views of lake & mountains from this unique home. Noelene & Bill are lovely caring & informative hosts who are so keen to make a stay at Kauri House memorable. Nothing. But if you choose to walk into town it’s a steep climb back up afterwards at the end!

  • Engine customer Nov 2024

    The hosts were exceptional! They were friendly, informative and so welcoming while still respecting our privacy. The apartment where we stayed was totally separate from the hosts house. Every morning we were greeted at a predetermined timed with a lovely breakfast. Eggs, bacon or sausage,and a variety of fresh vegetables from their garden. It was heavenly! The property was very clean and well appointed. The hosts gave us recommendations about sights around the area. Upon our request. A washer and dryer were available which was a welcome amenity during our stay. The location was convenient to town and other local attractions. I cannot say enough about this wonderful find and the lovely couple who hosted us during our fantastic visit to Wanaka! I can think of nothing I didn’t like.

  • Engine customer Nov 2024

  • Engine customer Nov 2024

    Noelene and Bill are utterly fantastic hosts provide a wealth of local advice and general insight into life in Wanaka. Apartment was excellent with great views of Wanaka and the surrounding mountains. Breakfasts were delightful and prepared with such care and thoughtfulness. Nothing - apart from having to leave to travel to next destination!

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Absolutely stunning room with an amazing view, and the property is lovely. Norlene and Bill were very warm as welcoming, and Norlene went above and beyond to make our stay special and to be helpful. And her breakfast, which she brought up to the room, was delicious.
