A welcoming living area with log burner is styled with unique furniture, modern art and chic lighting. This room opens up to a decked balcony with outdoor seating, the perfect place to drink local craft beers while watching the sun set over the Southern Alps. Also upstairs is the master suite, another balcony and a second living area/media room. Downstairs features an outdoor area with a fire and sofas, an ideal spot to rug up in the winter with a nice glass of wine, or, if you just can’t warm up in front of the roaring fire then hop into the hot tub. The two other bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms, are located beside the outdoor entertaining area. This luxury holiday villa is in a fantastic central location, within an easy walk to downtown Wanaka and the lake's edge. The centre of Wanaka offers some great bars and restaurants as well as boutique gift shops, stylish clothing stores and all the amenities you will need to have a wonderful holiday. Wanaka is an outdoor adventure playground with three local ski fields, some amazing heli-skiing, plenty of hiking and biking tracks and an array of watersports to enjoy. The local vineyards and breweries are pretty good too! Wanaka is the perfect place to base yourself and explore other parts of the scenic South Island. Did you know you can do day trips to Milford Sound, Mount Cook and the West Coast from Wanaka? After your adventurous day out, return to this luxury holiday villa and put your feet up and relax. This is a perfect house for couples wanting a luxury getaway or a family looking for a beautiful, centrally located home in Wanaka, where walking into town and to the lake is high on the list of priorities.
