Ed and Carol are exceptional hosts, making you feel right at home and taking fabulous care of every detail. The Lodge and grounds are exceptional quality and the location is ideal, being adjacent the beach and a short walk from downtown. To say the least, were taken with the Lodge and Wanaka and would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed for a couple of nights in the Lodge and had such a good experience we returned for another visit.

We stayed one night after hiking the Milford Track and touring the Queenstown area. The lodge is located a short distance from the town of Wanaka and there is a great walking path along the lake into town. The lodge is located right on a main road so traffic noise can be heard but the road must be lightly travelled... More
