It has been beautifully maintained and tastefully restored, with original features like the stereogram, curved wooden panelling and louvered windows. The Wilson House won the 2014 NZIA Enduring Architecture award.

The house is shaped like an "H" - upstairs on one wing are three of the bedrooms. The master bedroom (king) has an ensuite. The kitchen and living areas are on the other side of the house, and open up onto the deck. Downstairs is the fourth bedroom (queen) with an adjoining bathroom, a dedicated workspace, and TV room.

- "Classic house, we loved the mid century touches, well equipped with plenty of spaces for a big family." - "We had a fantastic stay at this unique mid-century home — full of character, beautifully styled, and incredibly comfortable. It was a truly memorable and relaxing experience." - "Seamless stay and a nice venue. " - "The house accommodated our group of 6 well in June. The double bedrooms were comfy and the electric blankets appreciated. We did not cook at the house, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. The woodburner in the hallway warmed the living areas on the first floor, but we kept the bedroom doors shut, where we used electric heaters. The couple who stayed downstairs found it cold at this time of year. The house is a few kms from town, so we chose to drive. It was very near Virginia Lake and that was beautiful. Overall a great stay in this architecturally fascinating house. We suggest putting a sign on the lounge fireplace as it is not in use. "
