Set in the popular Northlake community, this low-maintenance three-bedroom townhouse delivers lifestyle and convenience in equal measure. This welcoming neighbourhood is on the up and ready to be enjoyed from day 1.

For the active, you're moments from Clutha River trails, Sticky Forest, the pump track, plus the communal outdoor gym and tennis courts. And when it's time to relax, the Wanaka Lake Outlet is just down the road - perfect for summer swims, sunbathing, paddleboarding or Clutha River floats, with a sauna nearby to slow things right down.

The local café, preschool and neighbourhood grocery store are a stroll away, while Wanaka township is only a few minutes' drive away - making everyday living simple and convenient.

Upstairs are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a family bathroom with both shower and bath, and a versatile landing area suited to a study nook, home gym or second lounge. The third bedroom sits downstairs, also with built-in wardrobe, alongside a second toilet and a cleverly tucked-away laundry under the stairs - adding flexibility and everyday practicality.
