This doesn't seem like good value given the walking distance to town and the shared toilets and showers. There's also no way to have the room warm when you get up in the morning due to a timer switch. It's not a bad place to stay but there are better places.

Hi guys. Sorry didn't enjoyed your stay at Altamont. Perhaps you didn't realise when you booked that we were share accommodation. We hope your time in Wanaka was okay though. Cheers LYNN

The kitchen was large and well stocked. I don’t think there was enough toilets for the number of guests. Also we couldn’t close the door to our room without locking it with the key from the inside, we found this a bit of an inconvience and a safety hazard.

A welcome exceptional experience.

Our hosts Helen and Jim were very friendly, and informative. The communal kitchen facilities were exceptional, well organised and clean. Laundry was a godsend. Our bedroom was very comfortable. We enjoyed coffee in the garden and relaxed with our hosts in the lounge as they decorated the xmas tree. Great stay.

Lovely place

Excellent location, quite and not touristy at all. I was really well rested there, shared bathroom is very clean, kitchen is spacious with everything that you need. It is about 30 mins walk to town, on the way to town you can see the famous Wanaka Tree, Lake Wanaka. There is a Rippon Vineyard which is also walking distance from the property. I enjoyed to wake up in early morning, have a morning walk on the Wanaka Mt-Aspring Road, that was very refreshing.
