Overview

Whare Kea Lodge & Chalet is a house of glass, space, and light that appears to float above the water. The serene alpine setting by the lake makes this one of New Zealand's most idyllic retreats.

A truly jaw-dropping location that's best viewed by helicopter.

The inspired architecture of Whare Kea Lodge does absolute justice to its dramatic setting at the edge of Lake Wanaka. Entire walls of glass allow panoramic views of the water and the snow-capped mountains of New Zealand's Southern Alps. Built on 60 acres of private farmland, Whare Kea Lodge is one of those rare examples where human ingenuity, modern design, and nature's pristine beauty merge in absolute harmony.

This exclusive and intimate retreat accommodates a maximum of twelve guests who gather for mountain biking, climbing, heli-skiing and fly-fishing. After a day of outdoor adventure you'll enjoy a game of billiards, lounging in front of a crackling fire, or being tenderized on a massage table.

Cuisine at Whare Kea Lodge is modern European, with a focus on fresh produce, fine New Zealand and Australian wines, and French champagne. Dinners are four-course affairs, as you'll work up a healthy appetite in this fresh alpine environment.

On 60 acres of private farmland in New Zealand's Southern Alps, Whare Kea Lodge is a unique destination for outdoor activities. The stunning lodge is on Lake Wanaka, in the Otago region of New Zealand. Just over an hour's drive from Queenstown Airport, or about 5 1/2 scenic hours from Christchurch Airport, the lake is popular for summer swimming, fishing, and boating, while the nearby mountains and rivers promise adventure in all seasons.
