Best place we stayed in our lives
Before arriving we where all over the lower island of New Zealand for 2 weeks already. This was our last night there and the only mistake we made was not booking this homestead for the full 2 weeks. It was the best place we’ve stayed in our trip, much less our entire life. Highly recommend. It was so amazing! From the pool to the hospitality and the owners are so friendly and make you feel so at home. It was gorgeous as outside as in.

Clear representations
The place was addressed as 2127b Cadrona Valley Road, Wanaka Cardrona, We assumed that it was in Wanaka. It turned out that it is located 20 minutes drive from Wanaka near a village call Cadrona. We received no email directions to find the place which is tucked in a small turnoff off the main road. On our way there we called twice and was greeted with a message offering us 2 mobile phone numbers to call. The message was delivered so quickly that it was impossible to get the numbers,. Messages that we left was not responded to, Finally when we arrived, we were shown to our room. We found to our dismay that our bathroom wax located across the hall, it was not a room with en-suite as we expected, We wanted to watch the test cricket but found that the television does not work, By then we realised that we can’t be bothered with complaining to the hosts. The positives are that the environment is beautiful and the breakfast we had was well cooked, We believe that clear representation should be made about any property as expectations varies with different guests. Visitors need bet what they expect and pay for

We stayed at Waiorau Homestead for eight nights while we explored and hiked around the surrounding region, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. First, the location and setting were just what we were after -- quiet, private, far enough away from the crowds of Wanaka but still an easy drive to get to anything you might want to do. The grounds are secluded and well kept, and the inn is clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated with lots of character and style. The owners are wonderful--friendly and welcoming--and they work hard to make your stay a pleasant one at every turn. They are experienced pros who know how to provide great hospitality, with just the right balance between attentiveness and respectful privacy. Great attention is paid to all the right details, large and small. The breakfasts are fantastic, abundant and varied, all fresh and flavorful ingredients. Blyth is an excellent chef, and if you stay here, you should definitely opt to have him cook you one of his 3-course dinners. You won't be disappointed. It might be one of the best meals you have on your trip and will definitely surpass anything you'll find in Wanaka. If you're looking for a small, personalized, and unique place to stay, I would highly recommend Waiorau Homestead. We'll be back again the next time we visit the Cardrona area.
