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.
