Minaret Ridge – Wānaka, New Zealand

Minaret Ridge is the perfect option for families looking for a Wanaka holiday home that is close to the action. Situated in a desirable Wanaka neighbourhood with some great swimming spots nearby, the modern property has a lovely, bright open plan living area opening up to a large garden – perfect for the kids to play while the adults relax inside with a beverage. Leather sofas surrounding a log burner make for a great spot to unwind after a Winter’s day on the slopes, while the teenagers can watch television in the separate media room next door. The walking and biking tracks around the lake are within walking distance, as well as the Sticky Forest mountain bike tracks – a great way to get the adrenalin pumping!

The holiday home has four good-sized bedrooms, tiled bathrooms and a separate powder room. There is a study nook in the separate media room area, so if you do need to get some work done in between sampling Wanaka’s many activities, you can easily achieve this. The double garage, which offers plenty of space to store your ski gear and mountain bikes, is also home to a table tennis table – a great addition for a friendly game of ping-pong. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with everything you need to create a family feast, with stylish contrasting tiles and a large island providing a great spot for entertaining. Wanaka township is an easy 5minute drive away, making it easy for guests to sample the many fantastic cafés and restaurants on offer.

Important Booking Information
All rates are quoted in New Zealand dollars and include GST. Rates shown are indicative 'from' rates and may vary depending on your dates, length of stay, number of guests and seasonal demand.

Peak-season rates and longer minimum stays may apply, over major holiday or event periods.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required for bookings made more than 60 days before arrival. The remaining balance is due 60 days before arrival. Bookings made within 60 days of arrival require full payment.

A booking management fee applies to all reservations.

A refundable security bond is required for every stay. The bond starts from $NZD 1,000 and may be higher depending on the property, nightly rate and length of stay.

Standard check-in is between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, with check-out by 11:00 am. Early arrivals and late departures are subject to availability and may incur additional charges.

Guest numbers must not exceed the confirmed occupancy. Parties, events and additional visitors require prior written approval. Smoking is not permitted, and pets are accepted only at selected properties with prior approval.

Villas, holiday homes and apartments are not commercial entities like hotels. Properties offered by Release NZ are often booked well in advance and can be difficult to re-rent at short notice. Payments are therefore non-refundable if a guest cancels. We strongly recommend that all guests take out comprehensive travel insurance to protect against cancellation charges, medical expenses, travel disruption and other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent them from travelling.

Only the services and amenities listed under Inclusions are included in the accommodation rate. Additional housekeeping, private chefs, provisioning, transfers, activities and other concierge services can be arranged separately.

By confirming a reservation, guests agree to Release NZ’s full Terms and Conditions.

STEPHEN, USA

Great place to stay - close to forest and the lake, quiet and loads of sun and light. Everything was super clean on arrival and all the family enjoyed the house. Loved all the art, books and magazines that were there as well. Beds very comfy!
