Big House, Bigger Views

Summary:

This is a classic Kiwi holiday home — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for slowing down together. Enjoy sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, with mornings spent over a cuppa and evenings watching the light fade over the lake.



Just a relaxed 20-minute walk to town, it’s close to everything yet still feels like a true family getaway.

The separate kitchen and dining areas are great for shared meals, and the home includes Wi-Fi, a Nespresso coffee machine, laundry facilities, children’s toys, and board games. Outside, the dining area is perfect for relaxed meals in the fresh air, and off-street parking is available.



Large floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge showcase uninterrupted views of Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and beyond. The lake-view balcony is an easy favourite for sitting back and taking it all in.
