Cardrona Terraces

Overview

Set on 42 acres of pristine alpine landscape just minutes from central Wānaka, Cardrona Terraces is a striking luxury villa offering architectural sophistication, complete privacy, and warm, effortless comfort. Inspired by the grand lodges of the Scottish Highlands, the residence pairs its bold exterior with inviting interiors and beautifully considered spaces designed for up to twelve guests. A dramatic central atrium sets the tone on arrival, leading to a series of refined living areas including the primary lounge with open fire, private bar, and panoramic alpine views, along with a cosy adjoining library. The ground floor features a formal dining room for twelve and a commercial-grade kitchen, where a private chef is on hand to cook for guests. All meals and drinks are included, making for a stress-free getaway with friends or family. Six luxurious king bedrooms—each with its own ensuite—provide complete flexibility for families, friends, or corporate groups, with rooms opening to either mountain-view balconies or a sheltered flagstone courtyard.

Outdoor living is at the heart of the experience, with the courtyard leading to a magnificent heated swimming pool framed by loungers, alfresco dining spaces, and a striking open-air fireplace. This serene setting feels both expansive and secluded, offering an exceptional place to unwind through long summer days and star-filled evenings. Whether guests spend their time adventuring — skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, or golfing — or simply relaxing fireside with a glass of Central Otago wine, Cardrona Terraces is a superb base for exploring the region. Only five minutes from Wānaka’s boutique shops, eateries, and lakeside charm, the property feels wonderfully remote yet perfectly connected. The minimum stay at Cardrona Terraces is 3 nights.
