Wanaka Homestead also warmly welcomes groups that wish to have full use of Wanaka Homestead.
Superbly located, Wanaka Homestead is a stone???s throw from Lake Wanaka and the infamous Wanaka Tree, an easy stroll to the vibrant Wanaka township and a splendid short drive to awe-inspiring vistas and adrenaline-inducing landscapes.
In Wanaka Station Park ??? our ???front yard??? ??? you will find a beautiful, hidden, green park space with a small children???s playground, giant sequoias, Himalayan cedars, a large walnut tree and an enormous rhododendron hedge along with the Station???s surviving orchard, with pears and apples free for picking. Towering redwoods and a rose arbor featuring heirloom roses popular in the early 1900s will lead you down to the shores of Wanaka Lake ??? and the Wanaka Tree ??? and to the start of seemingly endless stunningly beautiful walking tracks.
