Homestead – Alpine Luxury in New Zealand
A private high-country residence, The Waiorau Homestead is elegantly appointed while honouring its rich rural heritage. The story of the Homestead began as the central hub of a working high-country merino station amidst the old gold country of Cardrona. It has since been transformed, through extensive renovation, into an award-winning alpine lodge.
The breathtaking driveway welcomes you to total privacy, peace, and mountain solitude. The tranquil and intimate atmosphere of the Homestead invites quiet evenings by the hearth, just as it encourages lively enjoyment of the grounds, which are framed by dramatic mountain panoramas.
Within the lodge, a dedicated wing houses three bedrooms and three bathrooms, separated by an elegant formal lounge and dining area that spills out onto expansive verandas and patios. Continuing through the home leads to a relaxed, casual living area adjacent to the chef's kitchen; beyond that lies a separate master suite with its own secluded terrace. Completing the residence, a detached pool house serves as a fully self-contained one-bedroom studio, with an adjacent swimming pool and hot tub.
Within the grounds are a heritage orchard, rose gardens, a historic outdoor fireplace, and towering conifers.
