Accommodations

Opened in 2000, Wanaka Springs is purpose-built from local timbers and stone to reflect traditional Central Otago architecture but with international touches. The name Wanaka Springs refers to the natural springs that surface around the lodge and which form the central and relaxing water features of the native gardens. Nestling beneath towering firs and just yards from the excellent golf course, the Lodge exudes an air of understated elegance and provides an experience of informal sophistication for discerning travellers.

This in-town retreat is set in a peaceful oasis, away from Wanaka's main roads and lively bars, but is still only a 3-minute stroll from the Town centre.

Rooms/Suites

Each Guestroom is individually designed to complement the magnificent views of the surrounding landscape, with the hues of the mountains and Lake reflected in the interior décor. There are 5 Queen and 3 twin-size rooms, each with fine furniture, imported linens and fabrics, private ensuites and either a deck or courtyard.
