About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Lakefront Gem - Wanaka Holiday Home

Light and bright thanks to an array of windows, this charming property features open-plan living and dining that seamlessly flows out to a partially covered balcony with outstanding views.

Whatever the season, you’ll find your happy place to sit back and enjoy a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir as you admire the sparkling deep blue water of Lake Wanaka and its mountain backdrop.

Fully refurbished in 2021, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances is on hand to self-cater your stay and be sure to make use of the available BBQ to grill up a feast for the whole family. Whether you choose to share a meal indoors or dine alfresco on the balcony, you’ll be delighted to find a dishwasher to make clean-up a breeze.

On your mid-year getaway, the old-styled and closed fire will keep you toasty warm, all while offering that cosy alpine ambience while you snuggle up with a cuppa and a book, or your favourite show on the TV connected to Freeview. Complimentary WIFI is also available to ensure you can stay connected throughout your stay.

Three bedrooms, with a range of bedding configurations, sleeping up to four guests here at The Hidden Gem, meaning there is plenty of room for people to find their own space. A bathroom with a soaking tub and separate toilet to provide added convenience for your stay.
The Hidden Gem is in an ideal location to offer privacy, yet all the convenience of being only a short 4-minute drive, or 12-minute walk, from central Wanaka and the bustling lakefront.
As there is a section of the deck without a barrier with a small drop on to grass, all guests should take care when using this area.

Please note that the Driveway leading to the property is steep and guests should take care well driving up.
The vacation home features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
