Smart new build property

A well designed townhouse that would suit a couple well. Location not ideal as you have to drive into Wanaka as a touch too far to walk.The home was spotless and felt as though we were the first guest to stay it looked so pristine!If you have bikes note there is no storage facilities so need to stay locked on your car overnight.
