About this house rental
Set in an elevated position overlooking Lake Wakatipu, the home offers stunning 180 degree views that parents will love and kids will remember. With all day sun, a peaceful neighbourhood, and plenty of room for everyone, it’s designed to make family holidays easy and enjoyable.
Inside, the house sleeps up to 8 guests across four comfortable bedrooms:
• 1 King bedroom for parents
• 2 Queen bedrooms for older children or extended family
• 1 bunk room that kids will claim instantly
With 2 bathrooms plus a separate toilet, mornings run smoothly even with a full house.
The living spaces are warm and welcoming, with underfloor heating in the kitchen, air conditioning in the family area, and a cosy wood burner for winter nights. The well equipped kitchen makes family meals simple, and the open layout means everyone can relax together.
Outside, the north facing deck is a favourite spot for families — perfect for breakfast in the sun, quiet reading time, or watching the colours change over the mountains. The patio includes outdoor seating and a gas BBQ under a glass cover, ideal for easy dinners after a day exploring.
