133 Warren Street WANAKA, Queenstown Lakes District

Wake up to a chill in the air, slip on the jim-jams and head straight to the deck to check for any fresh overnight snow. Kettle on, logs on the fire, bang some pots and lights on in the bedrooms to get the sleepy youngsters up.

Bad hair and toast then it's thermals on, gear in the truck, and up the hill to your favourite tunes, driver's choice of course. If the weathers packed in, the kids can head to the park that is only a 3 Iron away, while you wander to read the paper in the corner of your favourite haunt.

Grab a glass of great pinot at the end of the day, then snuggle around the fire for tall stories and laughs with those you care the most about. Memories are best shared.
