Great, clean room with a lovely view. Don provided useful advice and a very good breakfast. I particularly enjoyed the fruit salad (the best I had in all of New Zealand) and we really enjoyed Lorraine's muffins, which we took away with us every day. The view from the breakfast table added to our enjoyment. A really great choice in... More

I was only able to stay one night, which was a great shame. The property is lovely, in a quiet residential part of town, but only a couple of minutes drive from the centre. The East Loft was lovely, with plenty of space, immaculate and had everything anyone could hope for. The balcony, with views to the lake and distant... More

We had six weeks of touring New Zealand and this was one of the best B&Bs we stayed in. Don was a very helpful and hospitable host - nothing was too much trouble and his breakfasts - freshly cooked - were superb. The views from the bedroom balcony was very, very good and the room was spacious and comfortable. Worth... More

Four of us were traveling together and all of us agree B&B's are the way to go, expecially if they are as top notch as Aspiring Lofts. The name is well deserved. Lovely two apartments side by side with own entrance and such nice views from second floor. Very clean, contemporary look, and comfortable beds. Owner Don did a great... More

Well we agree with the other reviews- this place is top notch. We stayed in B&Bs/homestays for the majority of our 2+ week vacation and enjoyed the experience totally. This place is definitely one of the best- so clean, gorgeous views, and such thoughtful touches. There is lots of place for our luggage (not on the floor) and that makes... More

My wife and I stayed at Aspiring Lofts for two nights in February 2013. The room was excellent. Great views over the lake. Don and Lorraine were great hosts. They made us feel pretty special. We would definitely recommend Aspiring Lofts to anyone visiting Wanaka.

Wanaka is a really nice place to be and this B&B was such a great place as a base to explore what the town and surrounding area had to offer. Our room was excellent, clean, crisp and very comfortable and being self contained added a nice level of privacy including a well equipped kitchenette. The extensive views from the balcony... More

The town is lovely and this B and B is well worth the money, we meet Don on our arrival and he gave us some pointers on what to do. The guest rooms are set apart from the house and are well equipped with a good kitchenette including some fresh milk, which completes a great cup of tea ! Rooms... More

Wow! We spent 2 nights in this wonderful B&B and had the most amazing time! From start to finish everything was perfect. We had a very warm welcome from Don, lots of tips and advice on places to see, walks to do and restaurants to eat in. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he helped us to book canyoning... More

We only spent one night here, but it was without doubt one of the best B&B's we've stayed at anywhere. Our room was beautiful. Huge kingsize bed with crisp while linen, beautiful generously sized bathroom, well equipped little kichenette, gorgeous view of snowcapped mountains and Lake Wanaka from the balcony, and a terrific host in Don. (Lorraine was away.) Don... More
