About this property

Central Wanaka Escape | Lake Views | Walk to Town | Deck & BBQ

  • Welcome to your perfect Wanaka base.

    Nestled in the heart of Wanaka, this modern, beautifully presented home puts you steps from the lake, town centre, and some of New Zealand`s most iconic landscapes. Whether you`re here for adventure or relaxation, this is the place to come home to.

    THE SPACE

    Spacious, light-filled and thoughtfully designed, the home comfortably accommodates families and groups looking for a stylish Wanaka escape. The open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly to a large sun-drenched deck, the perfect spot to soak up those legendary Southern Alps views over a morning coffee or evening wine.

    The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast, with a generous breakfast bar for casual dining. When the temperature drops, cosy up by the fireplace and let the mountain artwork on the walls remind you exactly where you are.
    Bedrooms & Bathrooms

    ~ King bedroom with timber slat feature wall and mountain views
    ~ Fun bunk room, perfect for kids or extra guests
    ~ Sleek modern bathroom with walk-in shower and full bath
    ~ Separate toilet off the laundry for added convenience

    Outdoors
    The large deck with outdoor dining and BBQ is made for long, lazy Wanaka afternoons. Beyond the deck, a generous lawn and garden area gives families plenty of room to spread out, all framed by views of the surrounding ranges.

    A dedicated laundry with washing machine and tub means longer stays are no problem at all.

    THE LOCATION
    You simply can`t beat this spot. A short stroll takes you to the shores of Lake Wanaka, the town centre, cafes, restaurants, and all the action Wanaka has to offer. Two world-class ski fields are just a short drive away, making this the ultimate winter base.

    We expect the property to be left in a clean and tidy condition upon departure. Any additional cleaning required beyond standard procedures will be charged at $60 per hour.
