"Our family can not speak highly enough about Anaka, we booked one of their luxury stays and the house was absolutely stunning. Upon arrival, there were fresh scones and a beautiful local Central Otago pinot. The house is absolutely beautiful as are the mountain and lake views. The communication from Sally was fabulous. Highly recommend!"
