Detailed Reviews
We had an absolute perfect and lovely stay. The location is a perfect mixture of having contact to the very friendly natives together with getting some recommendations regarding activities and on the other hand having a separate apartment with own entrance being for your own enjoying the beauty of newzealand. The room has a nice balcony with amazing views, it is very clean cozy and modern and you have a small kitchen for cooking your own meals. Otherwise our hosts also had some great restaurant recommendations for us that we really loved. The room has everything you need, breakfast is cooked by the hosts and it was so delicious. While having breakfast we enjoyed the funny and interesting conversations with the hosts. The location is very well situated. Just view minutes from restaurants, the lake or stores.

This studio exceeded our expectations from the balcony with wonderful views to the extremely comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom (heated floor, fluffy towels, lovely products). The breakfast provided was so good too. We also really appreciated the little extras especially the home baking! There are two studios next to each other - nice and quiet and private. The lake is a short walk and the centre of Wanaka is also walkable or a three minute drive. If you’re looking for quality accomodation in Wanaka this is the place to stay. Thanks Claire and Jim.

Aspiring Lofts was a brilliant find. We stayed in the East Loft, windows and the bacony had mountain and lake views. Claire and Jim are lovely hosts providing high quality, exceptionally clean apartments that are totally self contained with your own entrance. The breakfast variety is outstanding and the little extras provided are so thoughtful and give the feeling of a real personal touch.
The lofts are close enough to the township if you want a walk of about 1 km, we used the car as we had too much to do in a short amount of time!
Thanks for making our weekend in Wanaka very comfortable and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend. Cheers

From the warm welcome we received upon arrival to the amazing view from the deck, this property far surpassed our expectations. It is upstairs on a hill overlooking Lake Wanaka and the surrounding mountains. Wow! The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and every detail has been considered. Including the fantastic breakfast ingredients and bottle of lovely NZ wine. The skylight in the bathroom offers wonderful natural light there too. It is located 5 minutes drive from the town centre on a quiet street and includes off street parking too. The owners perfected the vibe of being unobtrusive yet also there if needed. We can't wait to come back.

Our second time staying at Aspiring Lofts. Always a pleasure. Quiet location with easy off-road parking. Lovely views. Private, comfortable & cosy accommodation. Delicious breakfast & other goodies provided. Fresh towels & bedding on request. A great spot that does the job (in our case, a ski trip). Short drive to town, although we do walk in too. The hosts have pretty much thought of everything to make a stay as comfortable as possible. Recommended!

Wonderful, quiet, comfortable place to stay in Wanaka. If you have a car, and want a really good stay, this place is superb. The owners live 'downstairs' and are absolutely lovely. So helpful, yet give you your privacy too. Home baked cakes and breakfast items stocked in the fridge come included. Beautiful views from the balcony as you eat breakfast or have a glass of wine in the evening. Very clean and very comfortable.
The owners were also very helpful in suggesting how to best spend your time in the area. Highly recommended by us. Thank you for a lovely stay.

My husband and I had a warm welcome from the hosts at Aspiring Lofts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great just a short drive into Wanaka township and within walking distance also. The breakfast provided was great and as I have celiac this was well catered for. Most appreciated. There was also additional treats, a nice bottle of Rose Wine, fruit and baking. The apartment was very clean, modern and the bed was very comfortable. Overall excellent!! We will stay again. I highly recommend Aspiring Lofts.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aspiring Lofts. Great location with lovely views in nearly all directions. Easy off road parking. Stairs up to the loft with a shared entrance to the other loft. Really nice, clean, comfortable accommodation. A huge bed, tea and coffee making facilities plus fridge and plentiful crockery and cutlery. Lovely spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. Nice balcony with views out to the lake and mountains. Lots of nice touches such as homemade muesli and delicious home baked cookies on arrival. Quiet, private, warm, cosy & comfortable, it was perfect for our ski trip to Wanaka. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, just outside of Wanaka. Wonderful hosts. Both lofts are attached but separate from the house and each with its own bath kitchen and sleeping areas. There is off street parking. Both lofts are on the upper floor, giving great views of the surrounding area.
