Piwakawaka

Wanaka, New Zealand

Piwakawaka is one of New Zealand's most exclusive accommodations, located on a spectacular peninsula jutting out into Lake Wanaka.

It’s hard to find a more perfect setting than that which is enjoyed by Piwakawaka. The 330 acre property and luxury private villa sit on a private gated peninsula just outside of Wanaka. Literally surrounded by the lake, Piwakawaka enjoys panoramic views of the Southern Alps including the impressive Mount Aspiring and Black Peak. The peninsula is criss-crossed by walking and mountain biking trails, boasts four beaches, and even has its own hillock with yet more incredible views. Explore high country tussock land, discover regenerating native bush, and spot native birds including the delightful piwakawaka (fantail).
