We have just made a flying visit to Wanaka where we spent two very comfortable and enjoyable nights at the excellent Avalanche B & B. Avalanche is located on the edge of town and has a beautiful unspoilt view up towards Mt Avalanche. It is under 10 minutes walk to the lakeside and at least two nice places to eat.... More

Avalanche Bed and Breakfast is a gem! All the comforts of home (but more luxurious and with breathtaking views), gracious and generous hosts and the bonus of Poppy and Tiggy to cuddle. Trish and Davy, your warmth made us feel so welcome. Your tranquil corner of gorgeous Wanaka was a peaceful haven after our return from an exciting day on... More

We only stayed here one night but were made most welcome. Trish has thought of everything to make the stay lovely. Home made baking, use of barbecue, washing facilities. In fact we came back in the afternoon to find Trish hanging our washing on the line! We stayed at lots of places but I can only think of one other... More

My wife and I stayed three nights in the Avalanche B&B. The self-contained cottage, located at the ground floor of the house, is a spacious room with its own bathroom facilities and a small kitchen very good equipped. The room has a spectacular view of the avalanche (if the weather condititons are good ;-) a own perch with barbecue and... More

My family truly enjoyed the stay at Avalanche B&B. Our hosts, Trish and Davy were very welcoming. Sadly, we only stayed here for 1 night. The place was very clean, very comfortable and very homely. Breakfast was good, all homemade and my children specially loved the cookies and muffins. The view of the garden was spectacular and we enjoyed playing... More

Our stay at Avalanche B&B was unplanned and was one of those purely serendipitous occasions. We arrived at Wanaka late afternoon, on a Saturday, without a booking and it was the annual show! Fortunately the i site was still open but there was no accommodation available under $250. Our attendant remembered that a cancellation had just been received for Avalanche... More

Stayed in Wanaka for 3 nights and this was one of the highlights of our 4 week trip to NZ. The Studio room was of a very high standard and very comfortable. The Avalanche is situated in a quiet road about 4 minutes drive the the centre of Wanaka and the accommodation is situated on the ground floor of the... More

This was the best B&B we have stayed in not only in NZ but anywhere! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. We stayed for 2 nights (my husband and I and another couple) and wish we had stayed for longer. The facilities were excellent and the selection at breakfast was great (the home made muesli... More

We stayed here with some friends from the UK during a trip around NZ. We were all blown away by the hospitality and discussd many times how there were many little extras added in - e.g home made baking, beautiful home made muesli, fresh herbs from the garden and an amazing selection of hot drinks! We used their bikes to... More

The best B&B in NZ, and we stayed in many. We stayed for three nights in February. Trish and Davy (and Pupy) are lovely and caring people, taking care of everything, which result in a very relaxing vacation. The B&B is most equipped. The unit has a large seating area inside. A large and most comfortable bed. You have your... More
