Waiorau Homestead Review

This gorgeous old homestead, tucked into an idyllic rural setting near Cardrona Alpine Resort, has had a modern makeover that attends to every traveler’s needs. Blyth Adams (a chef) and Anne Lockhart offer four large, beautifully appointed guest rooms (three with en-suite bathroom; one with access to a private bathroom). The room with the private bathroom is the largest; and the separate smaller room right beside the swimming pool is the most fun. They are 20 minutes from Wanaka, but once you get here you won’t want to leave anyway -- especially once you sit down to one of Blyth’s meals. It’s farther out than Riverrun or Maple Lodge and has a more intimate B&B atmosphere.

Facilities:
Transfers to Queenstown and Wanaka airports (fee); babysitting; free use of bikes; outdoor Jacuzzi; outdoor heated pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
