D`lavande is well-designed and beautifully maintained modern home. Helen is a very warm and friendly host who made us feel welcome from the moment she opened the door and invited us in for tea and home-made cake and to enjoy the view down to the lake from the sitting room. The guest accommodation is self-contained, very nicely furnished and with... More

From my arrival I was made to feel more like a friend than a paying guest. Everything in this B and B is in such good taste, from the delicious food, much of it made and baked by Helen, to the linens and thick soft towels and overall decor. Everything for a comfortable stay has been thought of and provided.Information... More

We stayed at this lovely bed and breakfast for 3 nights in January 2012. Helen and Wayne are such a welcoming couple and certainly made our stay very special. Upon arrival we sat in the main house (note the two nicely appointed guest rooms are separate and have their own entrance, so you have more privacy) and chatted with Helen... More

We stayed there 4 nights in February and were treated royally! It is quite obvious that Helen and Wayne enjoy meeting people. Your hosts are very kind hearted and will soon engage you in conversation on the best places to visit in New Zealand. It is a great place to stay while enjoying the sights and sounds of Lake Wanaka.... More

We stayed in Lavender Room for two nights. The room is well-designed and clean.I can see that the hosts Helen and Wayne have spent much time on every detail of the room. Helen and Wayne are very nice and they have traveled around New Zealand that they can give very useful advice. The cooked breakfast is excellent, I like the... More

We loved our stay at d'lavande. Helen gave us a lovely warm welcome and we quickly felt like old friends. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she went an extra marathon (a single mile doesn't do justice to her efforts!) to make bookings for us. Our room was spotlessly clean, but very welcoming and the quality of the... More
