Minaret Lodge

Open since 2002, this smart B&B option is full of surprises (and that includes a Lord of the Rings room), and exceeds all expectations. The dining and living room facilities are contained within a stylishly renovated home in a peaceful residential neighborhood, and three purpose-built chalets are set in a .8-hectare (2-acre) garden with an attractive spa and sauna complex a short stroll across the lawn. Chalet beds are big and bathrooms are well appointed -- the suite chalet is the biggest and includes a tastefully finished lounge and en suite with both bathtub and shower. There is a greater sense of privacy here than at other similarly priced B&B options in Wanaka. The property plays an active role in sustainable tourism and is a charter member of Sustainable Wanaka.

Facilities:
Airport transfers NZ$10 per person; free bikes; nearby golf course; Jacuzzi; sauna; all-weather tennis court
