Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages  

Tucked close to Wanaka town centre, this homestead-style lodge sits a short stroll or drive from That Wānaka Tree, Rippon Vineyard and Lake Wānaka. It’s a handy base for ski days at Cardrona or Treble Cone and summer thrills like Wild Wire and Bike Glendhu.

A small lodge with seven air‑conditioned rooms and a calm, homely vibe. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, desks and irons, with housekeeping on request. The property also features a library, picnic and BBQ areas, and offers wedding services — note there’s no 24‑hour reception.

Soak in the hot tub, rent a bike to explore the lakeside trails, or wind down in the library and barbecue area. Free on-site parking, laundry services, ski transfer and tour/ticket assistance make getting out and about easy.

Complimentary wireless internet in public areas and luggage storage keep stays practical and connected.

There’s an on-site restaurant for easy meals, and plenty of nearby options like Francesca’s Italian Kitchen, Bistro Gentil and Muttonbird. Local cafes—Relishes, Kaiwhakapai, Federal Diner and Ritual—are close by for standout breakfasts.
