Chardonnay Getaway on the Guadalupe River – Waterwheel Condos
Welcome to Chardonnay Getaway, your relaxing New Braunfels home away from home at Waterwheel Condominiums, located directly on the beautiful Guadalupe River!
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, couples’ weekend, wedding trip, reunion, tubing weekend or just a few relaxing days in New Braunfels, you’ll be close to the river, Schlitterbahn, Gruene, restaurants, shopping and live music.
THE PROPERTY
Waterwheel sits on several acres of beautiful pecan-shaded grounds along the Guadalupe River. Spend the day enjoying the river, put in a tube right from the property, go swimming or fishing, or simply grab a chair and relax beneath the trees.
Guests have access to Waterwheel’s great amenities, including:
• 2 swimming pools • 4 hot tubs • Direct Guadalupe River access • Large grassy, pecan-shaded areas for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors • BBQ/picnic areas • Convenient on-site parking
It’s a wonderful place to enjoy the Guadalupe River without having to load everyone up and drive somewhere for the day.
THE CONDO
This approximately 1,000 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo is conveniently located on the first floor and comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests.
The first-floor location makes coming and going easy, especially when you’re carrying luggage, coolers, river gear or everything that comes along with a family vacation.
Inside, you’ll find a comfortable living area with plenty of room to relax after a day on the river or exploring New Braunfels.
The fully stocked kitchen includes cookware, dishes, utensils and the essentials you need to prepare anything from morning coffee and breakfast to a full family dinner.
With two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and room for up to 6 guests, Chardonnay Getaway is a comfortable choice for families, couples, wedding guests or a getaway with friends.
AMAZING NEW BRAUNFELS LOCATION
One of the best things about staying at Waterwheel is getting a peaceful river setting while still being close to everything New Braunfels has to offer.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark is only about 5 blocks away, so you can spend the day at the waterpark and come back to relax by the pool or Guadalupe River.
Historic Gruene is also just a short drive away. Spend the afternoon shopping, grab dinner and then enjoy some live music at legendary Gruene Hall — the oldest dance hall in Texas!
Downtown New Braunfels, restaurants, shopping, tubing outfitters and live music are all nearby.
TRAVELING WITH A BIGGER GROUP?
Need more room? We own a second 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located directly above Chardonnay Getaway! When both condos are available, groups of up to 12 guests can stay together in the same building while still enjoying the comfort and privacy of two separate condos.

Amazing place. The river access is incredible. This property is near everything. Super convenient. Eric, our host had incredible communication. Comfortable beds, everything you need to prepare meals, very comfortable space.
The hosts are great! They respond quick and house feels comfortable like you are at home! The location is great and watching the deer with my morning coffee was so nice.
We stayed in the Americana condo it was really cool. Decorated with lots of music memorabilia, very clean, nice size, great accommodations, and excellent location. Very close to bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back!!!
Great property with 2 pools and river access. Patio was perfect to sit and drink coffee or just relax in the evening. Property is clean and well maintained. Like that the security checked wrist bands and parking passes. Condo had everything we needed! We will book here again for sure!
Enjoyed the trip and the condo was nice and worked out well. Was expecting the river to be visible from condo and would have been nice to have more patio furniture for coffee in the morning. Enjoyed the trip.

Hi Tom
The picture clearly show the positioning of the condos to the river .As for the patio furniture there is limited space for each unit for patio furniture.
Thanks again for you input
Best Regards Joe
Great location. Very comfortable unit. Grounds are well kept and with river access. We were there Thursday thru Sunday mid July. Our balcony was shared with neighbors. This created a wind tunnel effect between buildings. Because of this although it was 108 degrees we were still able to sit outside most of the day with a great breeze. Close to food,stores, and Schlitterbahn. We used Texas Tubes and were pleased with them for our river float. Would stay here again.
We truly enjoyed our stay here. It’s our second time to stay on the property and this condo was better than the last one we rented. The booking and the check in process was so easy, we had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of towels, a Keurig with coffee and creamer, popcorn, and a couple of granola bars were greatly appreciated. We always think it’s so nice when the host leaves a little something for us in case we haven’t had time to stop for snacks or coffee. The bedrooms were very comfortable . There is a bathtub in the master bath for the little ones which I appreciated. The other unit only had stand up showers.
The TV in the living room worked great, I am learning how to navigate through the Netflix and all of the streaming services but the grandkids nailed it. We were close to the pool and had a beautiful view of the back of the property. Personally, I don’t care for shared balconies, but coming in March we were not out on the balcony very much anyway. And this is not specific to this condo. All of these condos have shared balconies that I could see. Parking was good. It’s not right at the front door of the unit. It’s a little bit away but not too far. It’s unusual that parking spaces are divided by another unit space so I had to take a double look so that we were parking in the right spaces. These are all minor, though it was really a great stay, and I would return without question!
We had an overall great experience staying here! The location was fantastic, and the room itself was very nice, clean, and well maintained.The hosts were absolutely amazing and so accommodating throughout our stay, we would definitely choose to stay here again.The only small issues we encountered were a bit out of the hosts' control, but worth noting: maintenance arrived to mow the lawn during the holiday weekend, which unfortunately got some dirt on our truck. It would have been better if that had been taken care of before the weekend started. Also, the cookware in the kitchen is in need of an upgrade; everything we tried to cook stuck to the pans, which made meal prep a little difficult.Because of the pans, I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5, but please don’t let that discourage you from booking, it’s a wonderful spot and we really enjoyed our time here!
This was a great location, on the river and just down the street from Schlitterbahn. Liked the fact that it was dog friendly, my lab loved the river. Condo was clean and tidy when we arrived, they even had full size shampoo/conditioner in the showers.
Only complaint is the AC was locked and wouldn't go below 69 and the master bedroom gets hotter than the rest of the condo. Luckily we brought our box fan (shift worker problems) and it was tolerable. But wish we could have lowered the AC at night for the bedroom.
This was such a fun place. Plenty of room and perfect for the weekend. Close to town, quiet, beautiful grounds and hot tub! We enjoyed our stay so much. Thank you for everything!

What makes this property unique
More reasons why you should come to New Braunfels for a RELAXING and FUN-FILLED VACATION. Literally blocks(walking distance) from Waterwheel Resort is the #1 WATERPARK in the country….SCHLITTERBAHN!! New Braunfels is also home to great shopping and a couple of nearby wineries. If TUBING or KAYAKING on the river and playing at Schlitterbahn are not enough, famous Gruene shopping, Gruene Dance Hall (Texas’ oldest dance hall) and delicious Gristmill Restaurant are just minutes away (3 miles) in Gruene, Texas.
The charming Texas Hill Country has an abundance of things to do as well. Fishing and water sports are also available at picturesque Canyon Lake. Still need more to do? The #1 OUTLET MALL in the country is located just a short 10 minute drive up Interstate 35 in nearby San Marcos along with the San Marcos River. San Antonio is home to the ALAMO, RIVERWALK, SIX FLAGS FIESTA TEXAS, SPURS and SEA WORLD. And not to be forgotten is New Braunfels’ Wurstfest celebration, a 10 day salute to sausage every year at the end of October and first of November.
