Accommodation:

We have reserved 2 x 6 bedroom apartments at Dungarvon Apartments, Wanaka. This is an optional extra for those that are happy to stay together, share some meals and flying stories, right in the heart of Wanaka. Each room has it’s own ensuite. There are 4 full kitchens, multiple balconies, BBQ facilities and various living areas. All just a short stroll back from Lake Wanaka and the main shops and cafes.

Cost of accommodation is $80 per pillow place/per night*. There are 12 rooms available that have a king bed or 2 x King Singles. Once it is full it will be up to you to find your own accommodation in Wanaka. If you have a preference to have a room to yourself, please let us know at time of booking.
