Reviews of Tempest on Wanaka

Home Cooked breakfast and baking

Very nice B&B, owners were very nice and helpful. Good shower, water pressure and hot water. Good wi-fi. Provided good breakfast.

No complaints.

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.

I sadly couldn’t make it to stay with the group, however there was nothing but positive feedback. The guys were happy, said breakfast was awesome and it was a great space. Thank 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.

Breakfast provided was really very, very good.

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 room was clean and spacious. It wasn't clear enough in the listing that we were literally staying in a room in within the hosts house.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding. We asked for a late check out so we could enjoy a sleep in as we were away from our busy lives and 3 children. We were asked why we wanted a late check out. It felt like we were staying with our parents. We didn't take up the offer of breakfast as didn't need the small talk on our holiday. The whole experience was awkward and we felt like the listing wasn't clear about bc we wouldn't have booked had we known we were in a room in someone's house, needing to take our shoes off on entry, and sneak in late a night so we didn't wake anyone.

Lovely room delightful hosts

Lin and Chris are wonderful host and their breakfast were all handmade. It's continental but so delicious. And Chris made lovely flat white coffee (with a heart shape on the top). Walking distance to town in a very quiet Cul de sac location.

Nothing.

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.

Walkable to town, very friendly and helpful hosts, comfortable bed and good shower

We very much felt like we were staying in a bedroom in somebody’s house. Our bed was under the low point of a slanted roof and my partner still has marks on his head from standing up from rested position. Having to remove our shoes upon entering the house was annoying. Breakfasts of yogurt and cereal were good but could have been more varied with some egg choices, pancakes etc.

Kind, friendly welcome from host and lovely clean, roomy accommodation.

Nothing

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

Chris and Lin are amazing couple. The room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Location is close to the centre. High recommend

Our hosts Mr and Mrs Tempest were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We had breakfast with produces right from their garden. There was home made jam, granola, coffee, and bread. We had a wonderful time.

Nothing whatsoever.
