About this Holiday House

Enjoy peace, privacy, and panoramic mountain views at Ranger’s Retreat – a beautifully appointed two-bedroom luxury cottage nestled on a 100-acre farm near Lake Hawea. This charming rural escape is the perfect place to unwind, offering breathtaking scenery from every angle. Inside, the open-plan living area is warm and welcoming, with plush couches, cosy sheepskin beanbags, and a wood-burning fireplace for chilly evenings. A sun-drenched window seat invites you to curl up with a book, while expansive glass doors open out to a generous deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Dine alfresco or gather around the outdoor fire with a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir as the sun sets behind the Southern Alps. With two comfortable king bedrooms, Ranger’s Retreat accommodates families or couples looking for a quiet getaway. The front bedroom enjoys spectacular mountain vistas, while the rear bedroom offers serene rural views. A shared modern bathroom completes the space. Guests can explore walking tracks behind the property for even more elevated views, or simply relax and take in the tranquil surroundings. Just 10 minutes from Lake Hawea and 20 minutes to Wanaka, this peaceful cottage is ideally located for day trips, lakeside strolls, or dining in town. The Gladstone Track offers a scenic route for walking or biking along the lakefront, with a picnic-friendly beach below. Whether you're here to hike iconic peaks like Grandview, Breast Hill, or Isthmus Peak—or simply to soak up the serenity—Ranger’s Retreat offers the best of both worlds: rural charm and close-to-town convenience.
