About this property
Ridgecrest Retreat Wanaka
RIDGECREST RETREAT
4-bedroom, 3-bath home with stunning mountain and lake views. Enjoy sun-filled days and a private, peaceful setting close to the lake and town. Winter comforts include underfloor heating and double glazing. The manicured, park-like grounds and impressive interior provide a luxurious holiday experience. Spacious design offers multiple living areas for family and friends to relax and unwind.
Once you have wound your way up the drive and through the immaculately landscaped grounds, you will immediately take in the breathtaking mountain and lake views. The home is positioned to take full advantage of the views from every aspect of the home and north to north-west sun.
Inside, the tasteful décor with warm timber embellishments and flooring give the home a natural homelike feel. The spacious layout of the two-story home allows you to spread out and find a space to relax and unwind, whether that be cooking in the stylish well-equipped kitchen or mixing a drink in the dedicated bar area of the second living space.
The open plan kitchen, dining and family room are the hub of the home. The kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space and an additional butler’s pantry, perfect for preparing meals for all your family and friends.
At the end of an active day exploring or skiing, retire to the second living space with the cathedral pitched ceiling, exposed beams and schist detailing making it the perfect spot to unwind, and keep warm on the cooler nights by the wood burning fireplace.
On the ground floor, you will find the master bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, the ensuite is equipped with a bathtub to soak in while taking in a starlit night. A second bedroom and bathroom also reside on the ground level. When you head upstairs you will find two more bedrooms which both capture the mountain vistas and share a large bathroom with a lovely big bath.
Outdoor living and entertaining have been well catered for with a jetmaster open fireplace anchoring a sheltered courtyard accessible from the kitchen and second lounge. Further patio areas off the family room also allow for alfresco dining or enjoying your morning coffee.
You are based only a two minute drive or under 15 minutes (approx.) stroll to the Lake. The delights of the Wanaka township are only a six minute (approx..) drive away or use the dedicated walk or bike trail into town. You are spoiled for choice with bars, eateries, boutique shops, and the cinema. Wanaka has easy access to two ski fields, both of which are approximately a 45 minute drive away.

The special touch..
While this property is self-contained, Lakeview Properties wants to ensure you have everything necessary to begin your holiday smoothly.
We provide essential amenities such as toilet paper, washing powder, dishwashing detergent, dishwasher tablets or powder, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand wash.
Please be aware that these are just initial supplies, and you may need to replenish them during your stay.
OUR STRICT RULES:
No loud noise outside after 10:00 pm:
As we are situated in a residential area, we kindly request that you refrain from creating any disruptive noise after 10:00 pm. Our neighbours have been informed to notify us of any excessive noise disturbances. If you anticipate difficulty adhering to this rule, we kindly ask that you reconsider booking with us.
Minimum age requirement:
Guests must be 25 years or older to book this property. The primary guest must be staying for the duration of the reservation and may be asked to provide ID for verification.
No parties without prior approval:
Any gatherings or events require prior approval, and unauthorised parties will result in the immediate cancellation of your reservation with no refund. Please note there may be an additional fee for hosting extra guests if approved.
Checkout is at 10:00 am:
We kindly request that you check out by 10:00 am on the day of departure. If you require a late checkout, please submit your request at least 24 hours in advance. Late checkouts are subject to availability.
No smoking inside the property:
Smoking—including the use of any recreational drugs—is strictly prohibited inside the premises.
Leave the property in a reasonable state:
We expect the property to be left in a reasonable and tidy condition upon departure. Any additional cleaning required beyond standard procedures will be charged at $60 per hour. Please promptly report any damages, spills, or stains during your stay. If necessary, you may be held responsible for replacement or professional cleaning costs.
Board games:
We love that guests enjoy our games, but please ensure all games are returned to their original boxes before departure. As reassembling games is a time-consuming task, a $60 charge will apply if the cleaner needs to complete this.
BBQ cleaning:
The BBQ and utensils must be cleaned after each use by the guest. Failure to do so will result in a $100 cleaning charge.
By booking and staying at our property, you agree to abide by these rules and guidelines.
