Rooms & Cottages

Guests can choose between the Main Lodge (adult-only, with Super King ensuite rooms) or two self-catering cottages: the Two Bedroom Ruby Cottage and the Three Bedroom Lismore Cottage. Lodge rooms include an ensuite bathroom, heating, and a SMART TV with basic SKY and local channels. The cottages have full kitchens, separate living areas, and the same TV setup. All bookings are room only.

Dining & Kitchen

No onsite restaurant is available. The cottages come with fully equipped kitchens for self-catering. In the Main Lodge, guests have access to a communal lounge with complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and milk. The host provides recommendations for local restaurants and cafés in Wanaka town.

Relaxation & Activities

Onsite facilities include an outdoor hot tub, BBQ equipment, bicycle rental, a guest laundry, drying room, and ski storage. The property has landscaped grounds with a children's playground and picnic area. Nearby activities include skiing at Cardrona, Treble Cone, and Snow Farm (all 20 km away), fishing, lake cruises, jet boating, and golf at Wanaka Golf Course (1 km). The host can arrange local adventures through the tour desk.

Location & Access

The property is 150 meters from Lake Wanaka and a 15-minute walk along the shoreline to the town center. The iconic Wanaka Tree is a 5-minute stroll through the adjacent park. Roy's Peak trailhead is a 5-minute drive. It is 20 km from Cardrona and Treble Cone ski areas. The Wanaka Golf Course is 1 km away. Free off-street parking is provided.

Services & Support

The host (Allan, Tania, or Katie) offers personalized recommendations for dining, hikes, and activities, and has been known to give lifts to trailheads and help with luggage. Late check-in can be arranged. A guest laundry and bike rental are available. Self-catering cottages are pet-friendly. The tour desk can help organize local excursions.

“The welcoming atmosphere at this lodge is palpable, with attentive hosts who readily share local insights. Guests will find the common areas and outdoor hot tub particularly appealing for unwinding after a day exploring the nearby lake and town, a short, pleasant walk away. It truly feels like a comfortable, well-appointed home away from home.”
