Ranger's Retreat is a cosy property boasting breathtaking mountain vistas, situated in a peaceful private location. This secluded property has two king bedrooms, one at the front of the property facing out to the mountains, and one at the rear, which enjoys views of the mountains behind. Both share the main bathroom. There is also a mezzanine loft space with twin beds. Enjoy the walking tracks up the back of the property which gives guests even more spectacular views of the surrounding area. Situated just 10 minutes drive from Lake Hawea township, or 20 minutes to Lake Wanaka, guests can have the best of both worlds – a relaxing retreat in nature, while also being close enough to stock up at the local shop or enjoy dinner at one of Wanaka’s amazing local restaurants. The minimum stay at Ranger’s Retreat is 3 nights.
