lodge facilities

The reception area, with a Bechstein Grand piano, flows into a spacious living dining room with a two way stone fireplace defining the spaces. A large paved terrace with a pergola wraps around 2 sides offering indoor or outdoor dining. To the right of the reception is a sunken lounge with a log fire and wide screen television (with cable).

We love it when our guests play the Bechstein grand piano. Guests can enjoy our Sonos sound system and can choose from a huge online music libary of over 10,000 items or listen to their favourite radio station via the internet radio.

There is a library of books, CDs, and DVDs or enjoy your own music through our Ipod speakers. Free High speed broadband internet access is available throughout the lodge.

Across the central courtyard with its outdoor fireplace is another day lounge.  It provides guest refreshment facilities and the ideal spot to relax after a busy day before enjoying the large cedar hot tub overlooking the waterfall, pond and Japanese garden.

The garden features exotics and native New Zealand species as well as an alpine garden.

Wanaka, being a dry climate, is wonderful for stargazing. Use our powerful telescope to enjoy the stars.

Undercover parking is provided and in winter ski storage and drying rooms. Bicycles are available for a great ride along the lakefront or by the Clutha River or take a rod and try some fly fishing in some of the finest waters in the world.

There is a laundry for guest use. We dry all our laundry in the sun - the climate is very dry and clothes dry very quickly but of course there is a dryer for guest use. We love the smell of our beautiful linen dried in the sun.

Fly fishing rods re available for guest use and there are 2 bikes to take on the great lakeside path or along the Clutha River or Sticky Forest for the more adventurous.

Boules can be played on the lawn and there are games and cards for those winter evenings.
