Hidden amongst a forest wilderness is a lakeside retreat. Be mesmerised by sweeping views across the bright turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki and the dramatic snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps. A few hour's drive from both Wanaka and Queenstown and less than 40 minutes to Lake Tekapo and Aoraki Mt Cook National Park.
At 3724 metres, Mount Cook is the towering centrepiece of Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and New Zealand’s highest mountain. A vast alpine landscape with snow-capped peaks, glaciers, lakes and ski fields, all set under a canopy of stars.
Discover child-friendly walking tracks with unique flora and fauna. Keep a lookout for the cheeky Kea - a native alpine parrot! With extraordinary clear nights and lack of light pollution, it’s one of the best regions in New Zealand to stargaze. Join a guided tour of Mount John Observatory to admire the natural light show.
Your elegant two-bedroom villa has been designed with a European farmhouse style. It is characterised by its high wooden ceilings and Italian sandstone flooring. French doors lead out to the garden. Plenty of space for the kids to play outside. Once you have put them to bed, soak in the outdoor hot tub and admire the starry night sky.
