Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages  

Tucked in Wanaka, this 4-star homestead-style bed & breakfast sits within easy walking distance of the city center. Steps from Lake Wanaka and the famous That Wanaka Tree, it’s also close to Rippon Vineyard, Pembroke Park and Beacon Point Walk — and within reach of Cardrona and Treble Cone for winter skiers.

Seven cosy rooms across the lodge and cottages give a boutique, homestead vibe. Rooms include a flat‑screen TV and refrigerator, and many open to garden views. Expect a mix of lodge comforts and cottage quiet, plus a hot tub/spa tub on the property and handy baggage storage.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on‑site self parking and laundry keep things easy. Recreation includes a spa/hot tub, library, picnic and barbecue areas, and a tour desk to book local adventures. Winter gear? The property offers access to a skiing area and ski transfer; wedding services are available for special events.

Complimentary wireless internet available throughout the property and free self parking on site.

There’s an on‑site restaurant and a guest barbecue area for casual meals. Easy choices nearby include Francesca’s Italian Kitchen, Bistro Gentil and Muttonbird, while cafes like Relishes, Kaiwhakapai, Federal Diner and Ritual are local breakfast favorites.
