Ridgecrest is a luxury retreat offering panoramic 180-degree views of Lake Wanaka and the breathtaking Southern Alps. This architecturally-designed villa, located just minutes from Wanaka’s vibrant town centre, sits in an elevated position to provide the utmost privacy while showcasing the stunning natural beauty that surrounds it. Perfectly suited for larger groups or extended families, the villa accommodates up to 12 guests in unmatched comfort and style.

Every room in this exceptional property has been carefully crafted to maximize the sweeping views, with a spacious, open-concept living area that effortlessly blends a state-of-the-art kitchen, elegant dining area, and inviting lounge. Sliding glass doors open to the Loggia—an expansive covered outdoor terrace featuring a gas BBQ, outdoor fireplace, and ample seating. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a glass of local wine while watching the sun dip behind the lake and mountains. For a touch of adventure, binoculars are provided to watch the hikers making their way up the iconic Roy’s Peak.

The villa is thoughtfully divided into two luxurious wings to provide both togetherness and privacy. On one side, four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms offer a sanctuary of tranquility, while the other side houses a self-contained two-bedroom apartment. This private suite includes a full kitchen, dining area, lounge, and laundry facilities—ideal for guests who may desire a bit of space or independence while still being close to the main living areas.

For ultimate relaxation, the villa features a spa pool with panoramic lake views—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. A dedicated media room with a large-screen TV and pool table offers a sophisticated space for entertainment and leisure.
