Mt Isthmus Wanaka

The spectacular Mt Isthmus offers a world-class sole use luxury villa experience just outside of Wanaka. Situated on a 7000 acre station, with famed Lake Wanaka to the West and the crystalline Lake Hāwea to the East, where rugged and steep mountain ranges climb straight out of the lake’s shores, and some of the clearest waters in the country glisten in the sunlight. The location really is second to none, although the ultra-modern design of the villa sure takes a chance at stealing the centre stage.

The architecture of this private villa is an impressive sight to behold, thoughtfully designed to create unity within the surrounding topography whilst drawing inspiration from the jagged mountain facades to create a modern high-impact design.  Internally, this villa is an entertainers dream home: The dining facilities are of the highest standard with a state-of-the-art kitchen and as a guest you will enjoy the luxury of having the resident chefs take care of your meals, providing five star service and creatively refined menus.

With several spacious entertaining areas, and one featuring an in-floor gas fire pyramid, Mt Isthmus is the ideal getaway for families, friends, or small corporate groups to soak in each other’s company in an incredible environment, inside and out. When you’re all ready for some downtime, the villa also features a media room, games room and a spa pool to make sure guests can relax.

Mt Isthmus can accommodate up to 8 guests and offers four suites, each with a super king-size bed, an ensuite, the latest in interior furnishings and views that make waking up an unforgettable experience.

With the surrounding areas catering to a diverse and heart racing range of activities unique to the area, you’ll find plenty to keep yourself busy whilst staying here. Ensconced in the adventure tourism region of New Zealand, guests will find skiing, kayaking, rock climbing, jet boating, mountain biking, horse trekking, and sky diving right on your doorstep. For those of a slightly slower orientation, the area offers world class fly fishing, back country hiking, and not to mention some of New Zealand’s most revered vineyards — world-famous for their Central Otago Pinot Noir grapes.
