Genoa, Wanaka

Perfectly positioned on the shores of Lake Wānaka, Genoa is a lakefront apartment that effortlessly combines stunning natural surroundings with the convenience of town just moments away. This beautifully appointed three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is finished with stylish furnishings and luxurious linens, creating a refined yet relaxed home away from home that is every bit as special as the destination itself.

Light-filled and open in feel, the living spaces are designed for easy enjoyment – a well-appointed kitchen, a generous dining area, and a comfortable lounge all framed by breathtaking lake views. Pull up a chair by the gas fireplace with a glass of something local, lose yourself in a good book, or simply sit back and let the scenery do the work. Slide open the doors to the balcony and you’ll find another gas fireplace, an outdoor lounge suite, and a BBQ – a beautifully considered space that invites lingering no matter the season, with those iconic lake views stretching out before you.

Each of the three bedrooms is generously sized with ample wardrobe space, and each has the luxury of its own tiled ensuite. Practical touches abound too – a drying cupboard for ski gear, external storage for boots, skis, snowboards, and mountain bikes, and two dedicated parking spaces, one of which is undercover.

Whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or the depths of a Wānaka winter, Genoa delivers. Stroll across the road to the lake, wander along the boardwalk into town for an ice cream or a sundowner, or follow the lakeside track to Eely Point for a swim. Come winter, Cardrona and Treble Cone are an easy drive away, making après-ski evenings back at the apartment something to look forward to all day.

MajorDomo Musings… Morning coffee on the balcony with the still waters of Lake Wānaka glittering in front of you, an afternoon stroll along the boardwalk into town, and then back to the warmth of Genoa’s gas fireplace with a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir as the evening light fades over the Hāwea ranges — that’s our idea of Wānaka living done perfectly.
