Entire house with tranquil garden, cosy and private, by the river

Surrounded by stunning mountains and three beautiful rivers this lovely home is private, peaceful and relaxing with a large fully fenced outdoor area and tranquil veranda looking out across the reserve.
Situated in old established Albert Town with more space and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of Wanaka but only a 5 - 10 minute drive.

Walking and mountain-biking tracks are literally out the front and back doors! Great fishing, swimming and boating, this is a special place.
It’s a five minute walk to the Albert Town store, famous Pembroke Patisserie, restaurant and bar and a five minute drive to Wanaka township. Ski fields are 45 minutes drive, Lake Wanaka 5 - 10 minutes drive and Lake Hawea 15 minutes drive.

Comfortable beds and sofas, a great woodburner plus heatpump/air con make this a great house for both winter and summer.
Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives and a dishwasher. Two fridge/freezers, laundry with washer and dryer plus both an iron and steamer.
Gas hot water, great showers and a full sized bath.

Very comfortable and clean with contemporary furniture and quality bedding with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and toilets, a large private back yard with plenty of relaxing outdoor furniture, BBQ, apple and peach trees.

Linen provided.

Free wireless internet and Smart TV.
Maps provided for tracks and local information, books and games.

Very comfortable home
This is a very comfortable home in a great location in Albert Town near the river and walking trails. The house is well appointed with everything we needed, including apples from the trees in the lovely relaxing backyard. It’s a short drive to Wanaka and a short walk to the Pembroke Patisserie! Richelle was easy to communicate with and we wish we could have stayed longer!

Fantastic Holiday
We had a great stay in Albert Town and Richelle was a pleasure to communicate with. The house had everything we needed and is nicely located down a quiet street close to the river. There are views out to the mountains from just about every window. The Fire and Heat Pump kept the place nice and cosy. Plenty of room for five of us to spread out and relax.

A lovely, peaceful summer spot near the river. A comfortable and clean well presented house with character. A great alternative to staying in Wanaka, with a Four Square nearby and handy tracks for walking/running/biking.

We love the house and the location, and would definitely stay there again. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house is very private and yet close to nature; the river and walking tracks are right there. You can even walk to the local bakery for yummy food. Richelle was a pleasure to communicate with.

Great house, great location, great skiing - what more could you want from a winter holiday! The house was really well equipped and perfect for our family.
