Located on 10 acres of gardens, Golfcourse Road Chalets and Lodge with lovely lake, mountain or golf course views. Just 4 minutes’ drive from Lake Wanaka, the property features free WiFi and barbecue facilities.

The owner was the loveliest lady. The chalets are well-equipped and located on a beautiful estate near Wanaka. We just fell in love with both Wanaka and the chalets. If we didn't live on the other side of the planet, we'd be back more often!
