About this property
Whare Kea - Lakefront luxury villa in Lake Wanaka
Release Wanaka - Whare Kea perches right on the edge of Lake Wanaka against the beautiful backdrop of the Southern Alps. This exclusive-use private villa offers luxury accommodation for up to 12 guests.
If you're looking for luxurious lakefront accommodation, then Whare Kea could be a great option for your next trip to Wanaka. Once an award-winning lodge, Whare Kea has now been transformed into an exclusive-use villa offering a luxury private retreat for up to 12 guests.
The luxury villa is strikingly designed in timber and glass, appearing to float on the edge of Lake Wanaka, with the majestic Southern Alps as a beautiful backdrop. It boasts 6 bedrooms, all with ensuites, with 5 of these bedrooms able to be split into twin rooms. This makes the property a perfect choice for a family get together, or for a group of friends. There is a fully equipped kitchen for guests to use, or even better, for a private chef to come in and cook up a storm while you relax in the open plan living area and absorb the stunning views.
Expansive, manicured lawns surround the property, with helicopter access available. There is also a spa pool to enjoy a relaxing soak after a big day of exploring Wanaka.
Wanaka township is an easy drive from the property, as is Mt Aspiring Park and some of the area's great tracks and trails.
Guests have access to the whole property and gardens including private hot tub.
A house manual is located within the property.
