Pleasant evening

We had a very pleasant evening cruising on lake Wanaka. Beautiful scenery and very relaxing. Lovely wine and a good choice of flavours. Nice cheese and crackers but not gluten free unfortunately. A commentary on the area would have added to the experience.

Mistake

The staff was so rigid that they were not at all ready to make changes we were 20 minutes late because of the sudden roadwork , we requested if we could given next day slot , they said it’s fully booked but it wasn’t, the staff was just not interested in listening to me as it was not booked via their website directly .
