The accomodation is spread between the main ‘house’ area and various stand alone suites. Parking is on-site, the property has laundry for guests, along with a lounge area and a hot tub. The rooms are well appointed, well decorated and very warm. The accomodation is around 15-20 min walk into Wanaka. The owner, Alan, is excellent & possess an encyclopaedic knowledge of the best restaurants and bars and other Wanaka attractions. It is an excellent choice for those visiting Wanaka and a 5 min walk from ‘that’ Wanaka Tree and Wanaka Parkrun.

My wife and I stayed in a room in the lodge. It was very comfortable. Alan welcomed us and when we asked for a second night, he was able to juggle the rooms so we could stay. We were close enough to town to walk to plenty of eateries and bars and the lake. Alan also provided loads of information about what to do and where to go while in the area.

We have stayed at various places during our 3 week tour of the South Island, the Homestead Lodge was head and shoulders above everywhere else we stayed. It's a lovely place, the owners have worked hard to make it elegant, well-equiped, extremely well looked-after and friendly. The Homestead Lodge is a very pleasant walk along the lakeside into the town centre, with spectacular views the mountains. The owner couldn't have been more helpful, he even gave us a lift 12k to the start of a beautiful walk back into town. Make a point of talking to him, he will tell you the best places eat, where to get cheap petrol, where to find the best pastries and how to make the most of your stay. If you are interested in doing the Wanaka Park run, it's only about 100m to the start. It's a great place.
