Welcome to
Criffel Peak View

Kia ora!

We’re Caroline and Suzie, your hosts at Criffel Peak View B&B here in beautiful Wanaka. For over twenty years we’ve been lucky enough to call this stunning mountain town home — and we never tire of waking up to its alpine light, fresh air, and peaceful rhythm.

At Criffel Peak View, we’ve created a space where comfort, warmth, and personal attention come together — a place where guests can unwind, feel at home, and experience the real Wanaka that we love so much.

What You Can Expect

We like to keep things relaxed and personal. When you stay with us, you’ll enjoy:

Warm hospitality — we’re here to help as much (or as little) as you like.
Comfortable, well-appointed rooms — designed for rest, quiet, and a good night’s sleep.
Local knowledge — we’ll happily share our favourite hikes, bike rides, and cafés.
Home-cooked breakfasts — fresh, seasonal, and made with care.
Sustainability and care — we minimise waste, recycle where possible, and support local suppliers.

Our guests often tell us that what makes their stay special isn’t just the scenery — it’s the feeling of being welcomed like family.
