Marina Terrace Apartments, Wanaka has mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Wanaka, 2.5 km from Puzzling World. It is located 2.2 km from The Wanaka Tree and features a lift. Guests can use the spa centre and the fitness centre, or enjoy lake views. The unit was in impeccable condition. Every detail from the furniture to the amenities to the apartment itself felt brand new. Helen was super friendly and helpful. Private parking garage was really convenient. The location was great as well. You could walk from the property to restaurants and New World or Four Square supermarkets within minutes. There was a playground across the street for the kids and the view of the lake and surrounding areas was breathtaking. Sitting out on the terrace with the fire place going was the perfect end to each day. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend Marina Terrace.

37 km from Moeraki Boulders in Oamaru, The Old Confectionery features accommodation with access to beauty services. The property features sea and city views, and is 2.6 km from Bushy Beach. The apartment also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The hotel itself is an artwork, and the owner is as elegant as her property. Kids and I myself love here so much, it will definitely be the place when we visit Omaru next time.

This 2-bedroom holiday home is a 2-minute drive from The Cairns Golf Course and a 3-minute drive from Church of the Good Shepard. Tekapo Springs and Alpine Springs & Spa are both 4 minutes’ drive away. Location was great. Loved the uniquness of this cottage and great views. The grandchildren loved the novelty of the loft and especially feeding the farm animals. The adults loved the spa under the stars in the night sky, and the cosy wood fire inside after getting out of the spa. Plenty of alternative heating available in the cottage. Would highly recommend for families. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to stay again.
