Mahu Whenua is a magical, exclusive luxury house in Wanaka, New Zealand. It’s more than pampering, silver service and a luxurious bathrobe. It’s exactly what luxury and comfort should be.
From the moment you step through the generous wooden doors the sumptuous and relaxed surroundings immediately ease you into a sense of serenity which is only intensified by the jaw dropping views from the front lawn which stretch out over Lake Wanaka and the surrounding majestic mountains.
Although it’s only a ten minute helicopter ride most guests choose to drive themselves, enjoying the country roads as they wind their way through the awe inspiring Central Otago countryside. (It’s 90 minutes from Queenstown airport).
The homestead itself is an attraction in its own right. It is luxurious, homey, charming, welcoming and paired with the most heart-warming hospitality. It is designed in the style of a high country homestead. Throughout the lodge there are so many spaces to hideaway and unwind. Relax with a book, or if you are travelling as part of a group, socialise with friends in the great room enjoying fabulous wine and food, fun and uninterrupted alpine and lake views. Enjoy dressing up for dinner to celebrate a special occasion or just stay as you are after a day lying by the pool, or enjoying some of our favourite lodge activities including e-biking, horse riding, yoga, skiing and hiking. The team of staff at the lodge make every part of your stay a truly exceptional indulgence.
This exclusive luxury house in New Zealand offers five luxurious suites. All the suites are individually styled and offer magnificent views, luxury linen and unparalleled service.
Wanaka township is only twenty minutes away from this exclusive luxury house in New Zealand which means that guests also get to enjoy everything this quaint lakeside town has to offer. There are an unlimited number of activities to enjoy in this picturesque part of the world from strolls around the lake to golf and jet boating to sampling multi award winning wines and world class cuisine from local cellar doors. And what cannot be done in town, Mahu Whenua more than caters for with their own range of activities which include hiking, biking, horse riding, riverside picnics, helicopter excursions or relaxing with a good book by the pool. There is literally something for everyone.
Although easily accessible Mahu Whenua still manages to exude total privacy and seclusion. It’s as if it’s your own personal national park with a sprawling 136 000 acres (55 thousand hectares) of sustainable land made up of lush green valleys , forests and towering mountains covered with acres of native forest which is constantly being regenerated. Honestly this eco sanctuary boasts some of the most dramatic natural alpine scenery you’ll ever see.
Horse riding allows you to explore the miles of custom-made trails through dappled woodland and meandering rivers. Or for the more curious, their informative four-wheel drive excursion takes you into the heartland of the property, where you will soak up the history of this iconic place, learning stories of the early settlers and prospectors and take a first-hand glimpse at the largest private conservation undertaking in New Zealand’s history. More than 90% of the land has been protected by covenants ensuring that extensive plant regeneration and native bird breeding programmes shall continue in perpetuity.
Though Mahu Whenua doesn’t allow hunting on the property, after all the name literally means ‘Healing the Land’, their team are more than happy to set up hunting trips for you on neighbouring stations.
Then when you have finished a day’s exploration, this stunning exclusive accommodation offers some exquisite five star cuisine pairing some of the regions finest produce and wines prepared by Mahu Whenua’s own private chef. Relax with an aperitif beside one of the crackling open fires and watch the sun go down and the clear night sky explode with a thousand stars before you retire to one of Mahu Whenua’s sensuous suites.
And when your stay comes to an end you will be pining to return as soon as possible. Because Mahu Whenua truly nourishes the soul, because it’s out of this world. It’s simply magical.
