Wanaka Family Chalet | Sun & Views | Sleeps 10

Nestled in peaceful Luggate just eight minutes from Wānaka’s vibrant lakefront, this spacious alpine chalet offers a comfortable retreat for up to 10 guests. High vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and a central stone fireplace give the interior a characterful alpine atmosphere. The open-plan layout creates an inviting setting for families or groups returning from a day exploring Central Otago.

The main living areas feature multiple seating nooks, woven rugs and comfortable armchairs, making it easy for large groups to spread out or gather together. A fully equipped kitchen connects seamlessly with the open dining area, where a large wooden table sits beside expansive windows framing views of the garden. Heating options include a traditional wood burner set against character stone feature walls, as well as a heat pump to keep the home comfortable in every season.

Sleeping arrangements are spread across four sleeping zones, ideally configured for two families or extended groups. Downstairs bedrooms feature warm timber framing, while the upper mezzanine level hosts a bunk area tucked under the timber-lined ceiling pitch. A large triangular window at the top of the gable fills the upper level with natural light, complementing the cozy sleeping nooks.

Outside, the elevated hillside location delivers far-reaching views across the surrounding hills and dramatic mountain ranges. Sun-drenched outdoor spaces allow you to relax and take in the changing colours of the landscape throughout the afternoon and evening.

Situated within easy reach of local Luggate walking trails, cycling paths along the Upper Clutha River and nearby village amenities, this home serves as a convenient base. Whether visiting for winter skiing, summer lake sports, or simply enjoying the food and wine scene of Wānaka and Cromwell, the chalet provides a memorable backdrop for your southern getaway.
