Fire, Light & Mountains - Your Wanaka Home Base

The Home

Escape to this light-filled Wanaka retreat where soaring pitched ceilings, a crackling fireplace, and mountain views set the scene the moment you walk in.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is designed for relaxed gatherings - cook up a meal, settle in by the fire, or simply watch the mountains change colour through the windows. Heat pumps keep the home comfortable year-round, whatever the season brings.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, while the second room sleeps three across a set of bunk beds - ideal for kids or a third adult. A Jack and Jill bathroom sits between the rooms, complete with bath, shower, toilet, and basin.

Outside

Step out onto the deck with your morning coffee and let the mountain panorama do the rest. The outdoor space flows naturally from the living area, master bedroom, and bunk room, making it easy to move between inside and out.

Close to town but away from the noise - this is a proper base for exploring one of New Zealand`s most loved destinations.
