Unfortunately, our council regulations prohibit us from exceeding this number, including infants. If you do book for more than 8 guests, infants included, we will unfortunately need to cancel your booking and you will need to incur any fees we get charged.

Wanaka is an enchanting holiday destination, set on the southern side of Wanaka Lake. Miharo Wanaka Retreat is in a newly developed part of Wanaka, just 5 minutes’ drive from Wanaka town centre. Wanaka provides a wealth of cafes and restaurants, from fine dining to delicious pub food. For a spot of retail therapy there are several boutique stores and plenty of places for food shopping.

The lake’s backdrop is picture-perfect with stunning mountains framed by beautiful trees. Walks along the foreshore are a must. Water activities on offer include paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and boating. Take a lake cruise or a scenic helicopter flight, try your hand at heli-skiing or perhaps a jet boat ride up the mighty Clutha River.

For the adventurous and more active, a walk to Rob Roy Glacier in the stunning Mt Aspiring National Park or a scenic mountain bike ride might appeal. To entertain the children a visit to Dingleburn Safari and Puzzling World with its maze and illusion room could be on the cards. Wanaka's 2 quirky unique movie theatres are worth a visit too.

Lakefront picnics, or lunch and a tour of the local vineyards should all be on your list and in winter, hit the slopes just a short drive away at the local ski fields: Cardrona, Treble Cone or the Snow Farm. Wanaka's airport is 9km away and Queenstown's airport is only an hour’s drive via the stunning Crown Range. Queenstown also offers a vast array of bars, eateries, shops, vineyards and other activities.

With so much on offer, and such a wonderful property in which to base yourself, this is bound to be a holiday to remember!

Enter Wanaka on Hwy 84, turn left into Riverbank Rd, right into Orchard Rd, right onto Cardrona Valley Rd, right into Avalon Station Rd, right into Deans Dr, left into Marjon Drive. The home is the last one on the far right (if looking at the homes, looking towards the lake)
