Welcome to Cardrona Terraces

Each bedroom also comes with a full en-suite bathroom. Three bedrooms on the upper level have their own balcony with panoramic views and three on the ground floor open onto the flagstone courtyard which leads to the extensive outdoor area complete with heated swimming pool, lounge area and outdoor dining space, all centred around an impressive fireplace. 

The swimming pool lies within the most unique rural surroundings, total privacy and ultimate relaxation.

Cardrona Terraces is a perfect base for skiing, hiking, biking, golf, hunting and fishing.

Or, simply relax pool- or fire-side with a stunning glass of New Zealand wine and a book. The choices are limitless.

Surrounded by stunning views of the Southern Alps, yet just a five-minute drive from the popular lakeside village of Wānaka, this is a one-of-a-kind luxury base for exploring the many scenic adventures the region is renowned for.

Cardrona Terraces is a 700m2 villa set on a tranquil 42-acres near one of New Zealand’s top tourist destinations.

Drawing inspiration from the early Spanish Missions of California, the property has an eclectic range of characteristics. The architecture is harmoniously paired with an ultra-premium, yet cosy interior design with a ‘hunting lodge’ aesthetic. 

The grandeur of the property starts from the moment of arrival, with large wooden doors providing entry to a dramatic central atrium. 

A sweeping curved staircase takes you to the second-floor and the primary lounge space, boasting an open fire, bar and balcony. The adjoining library, complete with inviting leather chairs, is an idyllic spot for relaxation, with the expansive windows drawing in the dramatic alpine scenery.

Sleeping up to 12 guests, the six king size bedrooms all split into twin beds, providing full flexibility based on your group requirements.
