Lime Tree Lodge

Wanaka


Quietly removed from town, this intimate lodge has four luxury rooms and two suites. Outside there's a pool, spa, pétanque court and croquet lawn, while the lodge is centred on an inviting living area with open kitchen where the in-house chef prepares meals. The owners – former sheep farmers – host canapés and aperitifs every evening.
