Standout features:

  • A very comprehensive two-level main menu
  • Live chat AI bot for making reservations
  • A drop-down Search Homes featurette

Release Wanaka is a luxury holiday rental website for accommodations in New Zealand's South Island. Its website, courtesy of Tomahawk web design agency, condenses all the key ingredients of a booking website into the homepage and main menu.

The multi-level menu provides a multitude of options to an eager visitor, including the Search Homes option that lets a user look for a certain type of accommodation during desired dates. The reservations can also be made using the AI chatbot in the bottom right corner - sticky, same as the main menu.

Scrolling down the main page reveals an interplay of large images and textual content, describing the benefits of visiting this area of NZ via this service. A classy serif font implies a luxurious visitor experience while supplying just the right amount of info so as not to overwhelm the user.

Teal and navy blue brand colors stand well against the white bits of background and the hi-res imagery. Featured accommodations and user reviews offer a glimpse into what a prospective user can expect when booking their holiday via this site.
