A private forest escape unlike anywhere else in Central Otago.
Tucked away among towering pine trees, with mountain views in the distance, Homewood Forest Retreat is a place to slow down, reconnect and experience something truly memorable. From the moment you arrive, there is a feeling of being somewhere completely removed from the everyday.
This unique log home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and adventure, just 5 minutes from Alexandra and the Otago Rail Trail, 10 min from Clyde and an hour from all the attractions of Queenstown, Wanaka and the ski fields.
Spend your days exploring the forest and nearby cycle trails, or simply slow down and enjoy the magic of the property. Relax in the spa pool beneath the spectacular night sky, enjoy a picnic among the pines, gather around the open fire or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings from one of the outdoor dining or seating areas tucked around the property, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day.
Spanning two levels, this enchanting home is filled with warmth and character.
The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, flowing through to a sunken lounge with an open fireplace and dramatic cathedral-style windows. The large windows frame beautiful views of the surrounding forest and mountains, creating a wonderful connection with the outdoors.
