Things were missing

Just finished staying at Alpine View. Location was great as it is out of town by 5 min. Quite and a nice place to unwind after a long day. Was looking forward to the hot tub but found out there is none. Pictures used in write up are from the previous owner. Breakfast was nothing to write home about.

Peaceful retreat

What an amazing place. Craig and Michelle were brilliant hosts. Nothing was a problem and the property was spotless. Wonderful fire great cooking facilities and a comfortable sleep. Will definitely stay again.

Craig and Michelle are so lovely and kind and we felt very welcomed into the beautiful cottage. We enjoyed the delicious homemade banana choc muffins that greeted us on arrival 😊 The views of snow-capped mountains greeted us each day and we really loved our stay there. Can’t wait to return as soon as possible!

Loved it.

We stayed two nights here and wished we had booked for longer. The hosts are a very friendly couple who have gone to great lengths to make their guests feel at home. Our lodge was lovely, spacious, clean, comfortable with access to a beautiful garden. A wonderful breakfast is included sat in Michelle’s kitchen having a chat. The area around Lake Wanaka is a wonderful place to visit.

Friendly Stay, Beautiful location

Wonderful relaxing stay at Alpine View Lodge. breakfast was excellent. Our host Michele made us feel right at home.

We loved the view and the privacy! The gardens and grounds were immaculate!

Excellent facilities, wonderful hosts

I highly recommend this wonderful accommodation. Friendly and relaxed hosts. Excellent accommodation with every need catered to. Well presented with extra touches and comfort. I didn’t have a chance to experience the breakfasts but I’m quite sure they would have been marvellous. Take a pair of togs for the spa pool ! Enjoy the beautiful gardens. I will most definitely be staying there again !

Very friendly owners, nice garden and facility

Very friendly owners who gave very detailed suggestion of touring spots around Wananka Very nice garden and facilities, with farm land and friendly animals such as horse, chicken, sheep, dog and cat Plenty of towels for indoor and outdoor - very convenient

Lovely stay

Craig and Michelle are such friendly hosts. Breakfast each morning was delicious. A wonderful stay overall. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Excellent hotel and a short drive from Lake Wanaka

This was a splendid place to stay. Our Host Michele was awesome, as was Loraine who made us breakfast. The room was spacious and very clean. They even had a covered area for us to park our car. The gardens of the house were also lovely and one of our best evenings there was spent at the table outside our room enjoying dinner and some wine. When we get back to this area, we will definitely be staying here again.

Home away from home.

Our hosts - Craig & Michele - were welcoming, helpful and organized. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and sensibly appointed. The two bedroom cottage was a perfect size for our family of 3 for our annual Cardrona snow holiday. It is quiet and well-located with comfortable bedding and a well-resourced kitchen for home catering. They also have a good DVD selection for those fresh nights in. The chickens, sheep, and horses at the back of the property provided some extra entertainment.

A perfect stay

Very nice setting and garden; friendly hosts; tasty breakfast.

Lovely B&B with welcoming hosts.

On arrival there was on one in the office. It was about 1.30pm and we realized that we were early. We returned about 2pm and Michelle drove in a few minutes later. Michelle was lovely and she just mentioned that check in was 3pm. I told her that no check in time was mentioned on my paperwork. It was not a problem for Michelle and she even gave us an upgrade to a lovely suite. The suite consisted of a huge bedroom with full length glass doors and views to the mountains. The doors also opened onto a beautiful garden area. The room had a table and two chairs, a two seat lounge, TV, DVD player, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. There was a very large bathroom. This suite had undercover parking right at the door. Michelle recommended and made a booking for dinner for us at a very good Italian Restaurant in town. We met Craig at breakfast the next morning. They were both preparing breakfast when there was a power blackout. Craig just started up his backup generator and power was restored. The breakfast was fantastic with choices of cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt etc. Michelle cooked a hot breakfast of your choice. Toast, fresh tea and coffee were brought to the table. We highly recommend the Alpine View Lodge.

The ONLY place to stay in Wanaka

Craig and Michelle were wonderful hosts and made us very welcome. Gave great recommendations for local food spots and walks. A wonderful room with comfy beds, after a great hot breakfast we even got to feed the sheep!! Our 9yo loved it. I loved the beautiful gardens. Can't wait to go back and see it in another season.

Love this place!!!!!!!

Such a great experience! The hosts were so sweet and kind, gave us some great hiking tips and because of their information we ended up doing one of the highlights of our trip! The property is great, really beautiful with awesome views of the mountainside and very private rooms.

Great place to stay

Had a real nice stay,loved the country outlook and animals, great location , great breakfast.

Great location, great rooms and great service.

Blown away by the amazing service and the rooms. Excellent comfort, views and breakfasts.

Rural, yet handy to everything, and great hosts

As a base for exploring the region, we couldn't have done better. The location is perfect and the scenery is wonderful. Hosts, Michele and Craig, make guests feel very welcome, do a great breakfast and are a mine of local insight. The room was cosy, despite a cold snap, and very nicely furnished. Even the shower (my usual gripe in hotels and B&Bs) had great pressure and warmth.

Breakfast was on the light size and appeared to be a bit mean. This reflected poorly considering the good quality of the accomodations.

Very comfortable stay

Very comfortable in a beautiful location, close to town by car. The hosts were delightful .

Beautiful quiet location with stunning views. Lovely gardens with tables and chairs and views across to mountains. Five minute drive to town and lakeside for walking and restaurants. Very enjoyable cooked breakfast sitting around the table chatting to other travellers about their New Zealand trip. Highly recommended. We wish we could have stayed longer....

Had a very awesome time staying at the Alpine View Lodge, very friendly hosts, excellent breakfast, large room and very nice mountain views from the room.

The best accommodation in wanaka

We have stayed with 2 children. This lodge was excellent I will recommend to anyone. Feel like a home and comfy bed. We could see amazing mountain from the lodge. Super Clean bathroom and kitchen. Kids enjoyed pet sheeps and friendly cat called coco. We will visit again.

Friendly B&B

Overall a great stay. The first room had noise from the neighbors, but we were moved to a better room for the next two nights. Very clean and comfortable, and friendly hosts. Great location just out of town.

Really nice place to stay in Wanaka

The place is a little tucked away up the hill (Less than a minute drive from town), but its not far enough to be inconvenient. The cooked breakfast from our host was fantastic and welcoming and the room was warm and well equipped. Absolutely no complaints here.

Great!

We stayed a few days there to combine work and ski, and it was wonderful. Great view, spacious room!

What a wonderful place

This is as close to perfection. Great room and hot tub. Fabulous breakfast. Near town but quiet

An excellent night's stay.

Had only time to stay for one night, but would very happily have stayed for a week! Can't think of anything to fault about Alpine View Lodge at all.

great place to stay

The hosts were friendly helpful it was a pleasure to meet and spend time with them. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Please don't mix the name when looking it is alpine lodge View other places have similar names. The room had a king size bed and very comfy. Tea coffee facilities with home made biscuits . Ample space to move around TV and free wi .fi connection. Own outside courtyard with table and chairs. Very very happy with our stay. Position is close to town but not a problem with car younger persons could pedal, quiet and peaceful garden areas.

Value: Affordable; Service: Flawless; great gourment cafe nearby.

Quiet and Secluded

Michelle and Craig are very welcoming and instantly make you feel at home. Wonderful breakfast with the addition of a chat with the owners. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and generously proportioned. It feels secluded but Wanaka is only a 3 minute drive away. Beautiful views of the gardens and muntains in the distance. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful stay at Alpine View

Craig and Michelle are marvelous hosts for this B&B. We obtained friendly and quite useful advice regarding things to do, places to eat, and directions for travel. We also appreciated Craig’s advice to use the spa after our hike up to the Rob Roy Glacier in West Matukituki Valley one day. The room was very clean, comfortable and in tip-top shape, with pleasant garden patio seating out the sliding glass door. I would happily book to stay with them any time.

Fantastic place to stay!

Wonderful hosts, wonderful scenery, very comfortable, clean, peaceful accommodation! I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Perfect Stay

Had a really lovely stay here. Michele and Craig were excellent hosts and we felt right at home. The room was spacious and comfortable with our own private deck and view over the fields and hills. This was great for having a bbq in the evening sun. Breakfast provided was delicious and set us up well for the day! We also enjoyed meeting the sheep and lambs :) We would definitely stay again and recommend this to anyone!

Wanaka

Excellent! Superb hosts! Really, really enjoyable stay. Recommend wholeheartedly!

Great nights stay

We stayed for one night and had a great time. The owners were very friendly and made an extra effort to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

A fantastic vacation home away from home.

It was way beyond our expectation. Our host Michele and Craig made us feel really at home. The morning breakfast was great. The accomodation was well maintained and kept. The location just out of town, was just exactly what we wanted because of the breathtaking view of the snowcapped mountain and the surrounding farms.

Facilities: Good, Good quality beds/bedding; Value: Affordable, Great kitchen gear; Service: Flawless, Quick email response; Cleanliness: Spotless; This was our second visit in 2 years and everything is still very nice and the hospitality and facilities are still brilliant!

Quiet and peaceful

Slightly out of town (not really walkable), but quiet and well maintained. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming.

Alpine View Lodge

Fantastic place - immaculately clean, nice outdoor area to sit with superb alpine views. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. We hope to go back for another visit!
