executive summary by darmansjah
With only six guest rooms, this is the closest to personalized luxury you can get. Located in the picturesque Wanaka are, the family-run lodge is owned by Stephanie Pursely and Denis Costello, where daughter Tiffany spins out delicious fares using local produce. Delivering space, comfort, luxury and eco-sustainability through the use of solar technology, my West Wing Suite boasts a veranda with views to the Southern Alps and Lake Wanaka, living room with gas fireplace and DVD player where movies are available for loan from the library, art pieces from Denis’ personal international collection, toiletries from luxury skincare brand Linden Leaves, and just about the fluffiest, royalty-worthy bed that put me right to sleep. On clear nights, opt to do stargazing through the telescope, fly fishing rods and bikes also available for rental, or simply make friends with other guests at this home-away-from-home (from US$368).
