We stayed at the Tin Tub Lodge for a couple of nights, which was fabulous. You can stay in of the rooms or separate self contained lodges. We stayed in a room, which was perfect for our needs. We even had use of the garage for our car. Baz and Trish were great hosts. Very friendly and couldn't do enough for us to make our stay enjoyable. They asked us what we were interested in doing and were able to give us great local advice on everything from walking tracks and local wineries to the best restaurants to eat at. We will definitely stay here again.

Me and my wife spent two nights in this beautiful Lodge in March 2024 ( photos see webside of the lodge). Everything in the generous accommodation is well designed, outside Spa with stunning view on Lake Wanaka is really relaxing. Lodge owner Barry gave us usefull hints and information about must visit places and restaurants. He as well prepared breakfast for the guests following individuell wishes, while his wife contibuted her homemade marmelades, selfmade bread and fruits from the garden. We loved this place and service and can warmly recommend it.

We stayed in a room over the garage which was comfortable but having seen the luxury lodges weren't quite sure why our budget had not secured one of them. However, the breakfast was very good and the homemade cookies in the room, to die for. A fair walk into the heart of Wanaka but overall a very pleasant stay.

The pictures and reviews shown on trip advisor all refer to the three luxury lodges. We weren't in those., We had a Peak View Room, which was effectively a room over a garage without a view! The room looked like it need a bit of a refurbishment. Certainly not the luxury I was expecting. When we arrived, it took 10 minutes to even find anyone, then Trish said "This is your room, Bazza is busy, he'll come and explain things in a bit" Not a warm welcome at all! The thing that troubled us the most was no air con, and the room was absolutely baking hot. The fan provided did not cool the room down. Therefore, we could not sleep well due to the temperature. We mentioned this to Bazza, and it was at breakfast and the couple in the other "over garage" room said the same thing. He jusat said it was too expensive and anyway it only gets hot now and then! Not really a focus on customer comfort then. Breakfast was OK, but not great. This was worst place we stayed - and we stayed in 16 places over our holiday. Definitely a mistake by our travel company to put us there and we have told them so. Very disappointed. Be warned.

We had a really lovely stay here. Bad welcomed us when we arrived and showed us our lodge which was beautiful. We had a great view over the lake, our own terrace and two slipper baths outside which were fun. The indoor bathroom was also fab with a jacuzzi bath filled by a tap from the ceiling, a big shower and double sinks. The food was excellent all prepared by Chris. Homemade cookies, jams, kefir, granola, honey from a neighbour, it was lovely. We would recommend a stay here, you won’t regret it.

Booked for the tranquility and pool, but pool closed for repair and the bipping Caterpillar excavators next door from 8am to 5pm broke the peace. After 5pm this place is Utopia, both inside and outside in the bath tubs overlooking Lake Waneka. The owners, are excentric and passionate, but in terms of information and the unique homemade breakfast accompanied by the Benjamin the Cat....25 min walking distance from down town, so no need for car, so u can enjoy a glass of local brew and wine.......and lamb naturally. There are must does in Waneke, but Barry will tell you. We were 3 persons, but worked fine the luxury room, with jacuzzi, mostly enjoyed by the our child of 13. Free laundry always a great help. Perfect place for rest, view and chill, so if you are busy during the day, the construction wont bother you. February 2023.

A Luxury Lodge with 3 spaciously designed rooms with separate bathroom. Cathedral height ceilings and one wall of windows overlooking Lake Wanaka plus a coupe more suites. Plenty of parking and lots of facilities make this a great place to stay - even has two bathtubs outside so that you can soak and contemplate the stars! The hosts are very interesting people and the breakfasts are just the way you want it - whatever that is. One of the highlight locations we stayed at during our tour.

We stayed at the Tin Tub Lodge for two nights. The accommodations were great with a spacious, comfortable room. The hosts were wonderful; Barry had many suggestions for things to do and see and places to eat dinner. Breakfast was terrific, with hot, fresh cooked items and a good selection of cold items, including homemade breads and jams. The location is a short drive from the town centre or a nice downhill walk to the town centre for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Bas and Jenny are very friendly and helpful. Bas gives a lot of advice on activities and restaurants in the local area. We appreciated his sense of humour
The rooms are large, well equipped and of a high quality. The outdoor tubs are great for relaxing and stargazing.
Jenny’s granola at breakfast is perfect and much of the breakfast produce is home made.
Thank you for helping us enjoy our 4 days in Wanaka 😊

Wow, what a stay! This was heaven to stay here. Baz and Trish were amazing hosts - Trish for her culinary skills, (her chocky biscuits are to die for!) and Baz for his amazing toast, his knowledge, advice and morning conversations. The room was huge with modern spa bathroom - the toilet had more buttons than an A380 passenger jet. The views over Wanaka were beautiful and the outdoor Tin Tub bath was certainly an experience. Thank you to Baz and Trish for your friendship and would recommend this lodge to everyone who visits Wanaka NZ.
