“home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

At our daughters recommendation we visited Caroline and Suzie at Criffel Peak and stayed for two nights. We had a lovely room with a separate bathroom to ourselves, which was very spacious and modern with bath and shower. Caroline and Suzie were most welcoming and immediately insisted we left our luggage and made for the Rob Roy Glacier walk as rain was forecast the following day. We made the glacier and returned to a homemade cake and tea and a chat with the girls, who are delightful. Caroline and Suzie are very well informed and are full of useful advice when asked and eager to help with places to eat and visit. They are also fun - we enjoyed the fact that all the guests were made to feel like one big family.

Room Tip: we saw all the rooms and they are all delightful, we chose the twin with separate private bathroom b...

“Best place to stay in New Zealand”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We planned to stay at Criffel peak for 2 nights but ended up staying 3 as we loved it so much. Suzie and Caroline were amazing and could not do enough to help us. We were met with a fresh pot of tea and home made biscuits - not something you find anywhere in the world nowadays. The room was lovely and the bathroom with bath and shower beautiful and spacious. We really have absolutely nothing bad to say about our stay here. Delicious breakfast, great hosts, home away from home, excellent value for money - all the boxes are checked here.
This place was so good that this is the only review my wife has written the entire 3 months we have been travelling.

David and Hayley Cohen

Room Tip: Book the room with the bath.

“Wow what a great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We had such a great stay at this charming house, and the two hosts Caroline and Suzie were so welcoming and helpful. We wish we could have stayed for more than 2 nights. The accommodation was so comfortable and well positioned, and it was great to have lounge and garden facilities. Fab breakfasts too Our hosts were well informed about the area and local activities, making our holiday so much more relaxing and enjoyable. We will definately be staying again if visiting New Zealand, but will make it longer next time.

Room Tip: All rooms were good.

“Excellent value + incredible service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Caroline and Suzi were such a wonder pair of hosts, I wished that we could have stayed for more. The flat is spacious, well equiped to the teeth. All you can think of in a normal home are there, they even have a small DVD collection and board games for you. There were washing machine and dryer and they had the washing powder ready! It is a place better to spend a whole week instead of 2 nights. They have thought of everything and had them ready for you for a short stay!

Caroline was energetic, enthusisastic and very friendly. Great fun taliking to her, I even managed to explain a chemical production process to a non engineer. She is eager to make sure you are having a good time and always come up with good suggestions. The breakfast was fantastic, sumptuous. My daughter really enjoyed the choices.

Caroline arranged a speedboat + heli trip for us, and it was a blast! Everything went smoothly. Wanaka is not a cheap place though, I found the restaurant there the most expensive in the island.

Room Tip: If you have a family of 4, take the flat. It is huge

“Great hosts, excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

We stayed here two-nights during our three week vacation. Probably the best b&b of our trip. Both hosts were very helpful in proposing local attractions, restaurants and things to do at night. A quick walk from the B&B brought you to the heart of Wanaka where all the restaurants and shops are located. Breakfasts were diverse and good conversation with the hosts and other guests.

We would definitely stay here again.
