Chris and Lin were excellent bed and breakfast hosts. We enjoyed having breakfast with them each morning. They provided plenty of food and were keen to offer eggs, croissants, or coffee on request (Chris is even a certified barista). They helped us with laundry during our stay and they quickly identified something that we left behind, which we were able to retrieve after we left. They are both talented and wise people that anyone can learn a great deal from. During the day, our hosts gave us space and always respected privacy. Location-wise, this is a very good spot. A walk into the heart of the town is very doable. If you want to stay somewhere in Wanaka where you can meet two locals and learn from them, this is the place for you.

Spacious comfortable room with comfortable bed and sitting area. Delicious continental breakfast with homemade breads and preserves and granola. Enjoyed dining with our hosts and the other guests so we could share experiences. Ten minute walk to town which saved us from having to search for parking downtown when it was crowded. Hosts Chris and Lin were very helpful and friendly with suggestions of what to do in the Wanaka area.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the room is very spacious, everything was clean and tidy, the facilities are absolutely adequate. It is very close to the lake and the town centre, including restaurants, only a few minutes' walk away. Chris and Lin were great hosts, they made a very good breakfast with very good coffee. This accommodation is highly recommended, thanks to Lin and Chris

The main bed is a super king size and very comfortable. The room has a nice blend of modern and vintage design. It is also very clean.

We thought this room had a separate entry, but it does not. The landlord couple lives downstairs, and there are three rooms available for rent upstairs. During our stay, there was another couple next door on the same floor. They were nice and quiet, but sometimes we could still hear sounds from the other bedroom.

Such genuinely friendly hosts. Superb breakfast each morning included home grown produce with great conversations between us, Chris and Lin. Nothing was too much trouble for them and this made our stay so much more pleasurable. Very clean and comfortable room with good views. Brilliant shower in the ensuite bathroom. Very well situated to walk into centre of town

Having to leave

Tempest on Wanaka is the perfect place to stay when visiting the charming and picturesque Wanaka. The location is excellent, an easy stroll to the center of town. Our room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Chris and Lin are very gracious and warm hosts and serve a wonderful breakfast. We enjoyed their company and tips on the area. The guest area is very private with easy access to tea, coffee, and home baked cookies.

Loved everything about the property.

The hosts Chris and Lin were wonderful. They went out of their way to help us - asking if we had wet ski gear we wanted to dry by the fire, giving us a lift to bus to get airport shuttle and helping figure out other activities when the ski field was closed. They really made us welcome. The breakfast was huge and the coffee professional standard. The facilities were very clean and the house is a work of art. As you would expect from a B&B the guest area is not completely separate from the hosts but you have all the privacy you need. Exceptional value.

There were no faults with this property. It was perfect.

The more we praise this beautiful place and lovely hosts, the less it is ! Located in gorgeous location, nearby to restaurants and lake, with all the amenities you would need on a holiday. The breakfast served was the icing on the cake. Be it Lin’s bread, marmalade, jams, parfait or granola or Chris’s barista styled coffee. The best part is they welcome you into their home for breakfast and we get to meet & talk to fellow guests, which is so rare these days. It definitely feels like home away from home with all the warmth and hospitality of Chris & Lin.

The location of Tempest was great, easy walking into the town. Lyn and Christ were excellent hosts, the conversation around the breakfast table was enjoyable. Lyn is not only an wonderful artist, we enjoyed looking at all her beautiful artwork on the walls, she is also an excellent cook, she made muffins for breakfast and delicious cookies to enjoy with our afternoon tea. The room was very quiet and dark of a night.

Everything suited our requirements.

Very clean, modern and spacious room

Breakfast was continental style and very nice but would be too repetitive after more than 2 days. Need to enter the house to access your room , no separate access so it feels a little invasive. Walk to the far end of the strip is a little long and uphill on the return. Close to the near shops.
