Sitting at 1750 meters (5700 feet) on the edge of Mt Aspiring National Park the Whare Kea Chalet provides a unique opportunity to experience a remote alpine environment in the comfort of a luxury accommodation.
The purpose built mountain chalet was designed to enable visitors to enjoy the feeling of extreme wilderness whilst still being pampered.
A stunning ten minute scenic helicopter flight from the Matukituki Valley outside Wanaka whisks you into the Southern Alps, between mighty peaks to the Albert Burn Saddle where the Chalet sits silently awaiting your arrival.
Enjoy the breathtaking view across to Mt Aspiring, the country's highest peak outside the Mt Cook region and the pinnacle of the National Park.
Watch the sun set over the alps while enjoying a gourmet meal prepared and served by your personal host. Take a hot shower in the well equipped facilities then sit by the fire with a glass of wine to unwind before curling under a duvet in your comfortable double bed with picture window views as far as the eye can see.
Dawn breaks and you'll awaken to the sound silence and breakfast being prepared. Marvel once again at the spectacular vistas, enjoy a relaxed morning affair before heading out to stretch your legs and meet your helicopter transfer.
All Chalet stays include all meals and a private mountain guide & host to prepare your meals and take you out to you to explore the surrounding alpine area. Optional extras include an extended scenic flight and a chef.
