The following review has been submitted: Harper's B&B was a fantastic place to stay at Wanaka.

“The Warmest of Welcomes!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2012

From our very first moment of arrival we were literally made to feel at home, especially with the welcoming tea and cakes. Jo and Ian were so easy to get along with and breakfast with the other couple of guests stretched into a most enjoyable social occasion, aided by the freshly-picked blackberries from next door's garden! Wanaka centre is a... More

“Going that extra mile to make your stay memorable.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2012

Jo and Ian are extremely welcoming hosts to their lovely B and B. The property is in a slightly elevated location above the town about 10-15mins walk to the centre. This location means that there are some wonderful views of the lake, particulalry from our first floor room. As previously mentioned the pancakes at breakfast are a nice touch (shame... More

“Definitely Five Star for friendly hosts.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2012 via mobile

Jo and Ian share their home like you are their best friends. They genuinely make you feel welcome. The room we had had a nice view of Lake Wanaka. Ian keeps a lovely garden and there is a spring in it. You can fill your water bottle. The breakfast is great with unforgettable pancakes. I would have liked bacon and/or... More

We appreciate you taking the time to post a review for us. Our views are lovely. Just a shame that there are no bacon and eggs!! However as we advertise a continental breakfast the pancakes are an extra bonus. More

“A wonderful setting, spectacular view and garden”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2012 via mobile

The owners were most friendly and helpful. A very good breakfast and refreshments provided. The garden and terrace/lounge were spectacular. Only the room (their second) was rather small, especially bathroom- otherwise excellent.

“Oue Wanaka stay-over”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2012

We stayed two nights and Jo and Ian made us feel very comfortable and "at home". They gave us some helpful advice about our visit to NZ and we felt like members of their family. Our accommodation was clean, comfortable and spacious. What more could we have asked for.
