Whare Kea (pronounced far-eh-kee-ah) means ‘house of the Kea’ in the language of New Zealand’s indigenous Maori. The Kea, the world’s only alpine parrot, lives all year round above the snowline in the surrounding mountains. |

On the shore of Lake Wanaka, deep in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, lies a private alpine haven – Whare Kea Lodge. In summer, the weather is warm and dry; in winter, cold and clear.
Relax in perfect luxury at where the highly qualified and unobtrusive staff will cater to your every need while you unwind or take advantage of the numerous outdoor activities on offer in the region. The Lodge caters to a maximum of 12 guests. All suites and deluxe rooms overlook the lake and mountains. Every room has direct access to the sundeck with its spectacular vistas.
Each room has its own luxurious bathroom with bath and separate double shower, lounge chair, writing desk, walk-in dressing room, Bose stereo system, and broadband wireless internet access.
Take advantage of a unique offering exclusive to guests of Whare Kea Lodge: the opportunity to enjoy an overnight stay at the luxurious, high alpine Whare Kea Chalet.
The Chalet is a true extension of the luxury and comfort of Whare Kea Lodge and was conceived to maximize the breathtaking views without impacting on its environment. The Chalet comprises two double guest bedrooms, living areas, bathroom and sun deck. The Chalet’s sustainable design excellence was recognized when Whare Kea received the Relais & Chateaux Environmental Award in 2004.
A personal host and mountain guide are provided to ensure your stay at the Chalet is unrivalled in comfort and safety.
Whare Kea is normally booked on an individual basis, but can be booked for exclusive use by a single group of guests. Two families, or even three generations of one family, can share the adventure of the surrounding lakes and mountains.
