About this property

The Gingerbread Chalet: Huge Lake Wanaka views

  • Nestled in an elevated position just a short, scenic walk from the vibrant heart of Wānaka town center, this freestanding character chalet perfectly blends nostalgic alpine charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by a massive, private garden oasis, it serves as the ultimate basecamp for families, ski groups, or outdoor adventurers looking for a unique and memorable stay.

    It comfortably sleeps 6: With 3 spacious bedrooms, 4 comfortable beds, and 2 full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to unpack, unwind, and enjoy their own space.

    Sun-Drenched Living: The early 1980s architecture with a modern twist brings unique character to life, complete with a fantastic wraparound deck offering breathtaking, elevated views of Lake Wānaka.

    Unbeatable Location: Park the car and leave the keys behind. A 5 minute walk brings you right into town for world-class cafes, restaurants, boutique shopping, and the stunning lakefront.

    Whether you are warming up after a thrilling day on the Cardrona or Treble Cone ski slopes, or sipping a morning coffee on the deck while taking in the panoramic mountain vistas, this storybook chalet offers an authentic New Zealand getaway you won't forget.
