About this property

Taha Wai - Wanaka Holiday Home

Welcome to Taha Wai, a four-bedroom, 2 bathroom house based in the stunning and snowy lakeside town of Wanaka. This classic 1970s family holiday home is close to the lake in ‘Old Wanaka’. Enjoy the outstanding views from the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area.

The spacious private garden is well-fenced (perfect for your canine companion), with plenty of parking space for cars and boat trailers.

Taha Wai has all the comforts and amenities that you would require from a holiday home and more! In the summer enjoy the outdoors, stepping outside to the balcony areas, watching the sun come down over the mountains. In winter, put your feet up and relax in the cosy and warm living area warming yourself in front of the fireplace.

When you’re about to doze off, retreat into the bedrooms and enjoy the queen-sized and single beds. Wanaka features stunning surrounding areas with beautiful mountain views and plenty of activities to throw yourself into!

Just 20 minutes drive away you’ll be able to explore one of New Zealand’s best ski resorts, the Treble cone skiing area! Even closer is central Wanaka, a 15-minute walk along the lakeside, with all the practicalities a small town has to offer.

In Summer explore and hike around Lake Wanaka or to get your adrenaline pumping, try out the many mountain biking trails in the area using the three bikes that are available at the property!

Great view and great yard!

Nice big house with a cracking view of the lake and mountains. My two border collies loved the big, fenced back yard. We loved the wood burner that was so effective we had to open all the doors to cool down. Nice quiet neighbourhood and easy lakeside walk to rown

Thanks for your lovely review, Michael. It’s great to hear the home, views, and peaceful location all made for a memorable stay, and that your border collies enjoyed the spacious backyard as much as you did. The wood burner certainly does its job well, and we’re glad it added to the comfort of your visit. We hope to welcome you back for another lakeside getaway in future.

Great location with spectacular views and walking distance to town

We had a great stay, house was cosy and well equipped for us. We had 2 families of 8 people, were we had sufficient beds and bathrooms, kitchen was small however still functional for our needs. The kids enjoyed the pool table and bikes. Lovely walking track to take you to town. Our only concern was the hot water system was not sufficient for 8 people and there were ants in the kitchen.

Quiet place close to the lake!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very pet friendly and with such a secure section our puppy was happy as outside. Kitchen well equipped and beautiful bathrooms. Our only issue was it was soooooo stinking hot in wanaka when we stayed that we had to buy fans and found sleeping up stairs too hot so we all had to go downstairs. But when I say it was hot it was extremely hot. And thats no fault to the owners. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone after a nice quiet place to stay close to town
