Blue Velvet Architectural Mountain & Lake views

Stay in one of Wanaka’s most distinctive homes — a two-storey architectural retreat with sweeping views of Lake Wanaka, Roy’s Peak, and Treble Cone. Two generous bedrooms sit downstairs, finished in rich timber and steel, while the upstairs living space opens to a dramatic panoramic outlook. With no straight walls, no plasterboard, and black charred cladding outside, this bold, artistic home offers a luxury stay that’s intentionally different and visually unforgettable.

We initially checked in for a one night stay and we find the house so nice, we decided to stay an additional two nights. The house had a unique design aesthetic and had everything we needed. The house had a wonderful mountain view and the house was close to town. We would definitely stay at Blue Steel again on our next stay at Wanaka.

Looks good in the photos but felt like a hazard house and not good access for dogs! The place was unfinished with gaps in grouting, holes in wood panels, sharp edges etc. The wooden floors and stairs were too slippery for us and dogs. We Would not recommend this place if you have pets or young children. But the views are awesome

Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry the home did not feel suitable or safe for your group and dogs. Blue Velvet’s distinctive timber, concrete and stair design is now described more clearly, and we have reviewed the edges, finishes, access and pet-suitability guidance. We’re glad you enjoyed the views, but regret that the stay did not meet expectations.
