Criffel Peak lies on the edge of the Wanaka Township which was ideal for meeting our needs, making it a quiet and most enjoyable place to stay. Caroline and Suzie are great hosts offering advice on what to do and where to go. Their breakfast was plentiful and most satisfying. The walk into the centre of Wannaka takes a good ten minutes plus and the town has a great deal to offer tourists. There is a plethora of cafe's bars and restaurants of varying degree set within a panoramic vista framed by the beautiful lake and nearby montains. Thus our stay at Criffel was ideal, easy to locate, comfortable and generously well priced. I would highly recommend.

northing to dislike

Caroline and Suzie are amazing hosts and their B&B is the perfect spot for a stay in Wanaka. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, there was free parking, the town was a quick 5-10 min walk, and the breakfast was a nice way to start the day. They provided a warm welcome, and gave great recommendations for both food and sights.

Location is pretty good, just a 10 minute walk into town. Breakfast was good as well. We were lucky to be sharing the place with some lovely people at the same time.

Caroline and Suzie were a little surprised when we arrived as the room we stayed in is apparently only meant to be for solo travelers even though it has a queen sized bed. * You can only add one name for this room*. Not sure why this is, as it was perfectly adequate for us as a couple. They were very good about it all in the end though. Check which room you book.

Nice quiet spot away from the traffic, very picturesque location. Well appointed room with a decent sized Ensuite. Shower was very nice. Breakfast was delicious, lots of variety from fresh cut fruit and yoghurt to bacon and scrambled eggs, coffee, orange juice, and tea. Wifi was quite good, nice communal area as well as a little deck out the back and outdoor setting.

Although it wasn't extremely hot during my stay, there wasn't any air-conditioning (which apparently is pretty common for most accommodation in Wanaka), in saying that, the room didn't get ridiculously hot and nothing an open window or two didn't fix.

I adore this place. Suzie and Caroline were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They helped me to plan fun activities for my time in Wanaka, including hikes and restaurants. It was interesting to hear about the local area from them and they are really involved in the community. They were so lovely to chat to, when I left it felt like leaving friends. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable and had everything I needed, and the breakfasts were fab! I would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing to not like!

It was easy to find, my room was clean and comfortable, and Suzie and Caroline are lovely people! There were other guests from Ireland, France and Germany. Suzie and Caroline are UK expats, so we were quite the international group. I enjoyed the conversations I had with them all.

The parking area was tight, so Suzie let me park in the driveway.

Caroline and Suzie were brilliant hosts: so friendly and helpful - great recommendations for things to do in the area. The room was really clean and comfy and breakfast lovely, with a great atmosphere around the shared breakfast table! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was made to feel really at home!

Located on a quiet street 6 easily walkable blks from town center/Beach. Super comfortable bed. Hosts were flexible with breakfast time based on guest preferences. I had arranged a pack raft excursion, and the host contacted the vendor and got me door to door service. She also picked me up from the bus stop, then dropped me off at the same location at the end of my stay.

Breakfast was the same each morning of my stay. Some variety would be nice.

warm welcoming, spotlessly clean, lovely bedroom, comfy bed, wonderful hot powerful shower. excellent location -very easy walk to wanaka beach/town centre. Susie and Caroline are friendly welcoming and super helpful, from picking me up from the bus stop to providing advice and guidance on where to eat things to do and everything in between. the home cooked breakfast every morning was excellent and really sets you up for the day. I would highly reccomend staying here!

Comfortable and clean B&B just a 10 minute walk to the lake front and stores. Hosts very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable of local treks, activities & places to eat. Fabulous breakfast each morning. The shower was amazing - great water pressure. Fabulous!

Nothing - I loved it.
