The host was very nice and Recommended some nice spots to take pictures. The location is not on the main street but it is very easy to reach by a car only several minutes. The breakfast is put in the kitchen and we can help ourselves to it. The view from garden was also nice.

We a family of three were totally awe, taking in the beautiful setting and listening to bird chirpings from the living room ! BBQing meats and the fresh catch from Lake Wanaka in the cool crisp night with wine had thrilled us the most. Both Davy and Trish the excellent host, always ensure we were comfortable. We loved their home... More

Both like to have guest – and you can feel at every minute. This B&B was one of our most beautiful accommodations on our journey around the South... More

We stayed only one night, but the experience is really woundful and pleasant, thouht this B & B is thousand miles away from our country, we feel like at home.

Thank you Trish and Davy for a wonderful stay. Everything is beautifully appointed, kitchen well equipped, beds very warm and comfortable. The garden and view to the glacier are idyllic. The home baking and breakfast was first class, and our every need was met with a smile. The girls all loved Poppy, and are still talking about her, and the... More

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. We enjoyed meeting you and your family and Poppy is missing all the attention the children gave her during your stay. I hope we see you back here for that skiing holiday in the near future. More

We had a wonderful stay for 2 nights at Avalanche Bed and Breakfast, which was really cosy and like staying in friends' house. Trish made us feel welcome from the outset with breakfast and some delicious goodies, including home-baked muffins and heart-shaped chocolates in celebration of our honeymoon. We were given some useful advice of what to visit in Wanaka.... More

This B and B is stunning and excellent value. Trish and Davy are fantastic hosts and warmly welcome you to their home and garden. Our room, on the ground floor with doors out to a perfectly tended garden ( and croquet set up for your use) was huge and beautifully done out. Facilities faultless. It's as much a perfect place...
