1 - Delightfully fresh, private home close to town

Five minutes on foot from Wanaka's lakefront strip, this detached ground-floor home on Helwick Street trades hotel anonymity for a private entrance, a full kitchen, and a fireplace for cold Otago evenings.

The property is set up for families: outdoor play equipment, a high chair, board games, and a washing machine all feature. A terrace and outdoor dining area face the garden, with the Remarkables and surrounding ranges visible from the patio.

Bicycle rental is available on-site, with cycling and hiking trails accessible directly from the neighbourhood. Wanaka township's cafes and the lake's edge sit a short walk along Helwick Street.
