Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages

Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages sits on a rural property on Studholme Road North, on the outskirts of Wanaka with open views toward the surrounding mountains and farmland rather than the lakefront itself, putting it a short drive from central Wanaka's restaurants and Lake Wanaka. The property is built around a homestead-style main lodge with a cluster of separate self-contained cottages spread across grounds and gardens, giving it a rural-retreat feel distinct from the town's motels and hotels. Accommodation spans simpler lodge rooms through to family-sized cottages with their own kitchens, lounges and bathrooms, with the cottages sleeping four to six guests comfortably and suited to multi-night stays. There is no on-site restaurant, but the self-contained cottages come with full kitchen facilities, and the property has BBQ areas and a garden for outdoor cooking and relaxing. There is no spa or pool on site; the appeal is space, privacy, and quiet rather than resort amenities. Service is informal and family-oriented, with the rural setting and self-catering cottages making it a practical choice for families or groups wanting room to spread out rather than a typical hotel stay. There is no spa, pool, or restaurant on the property, so guests planning to dine out should factor in a short drive into central Wanaka each evening, but the trade-off is privacy, space, and quiet that a town-centre motel cannot match.
