Whare Kea Lodge – Comforts, Glass and Setting woven into one Luxury Hotel

They are great ambassadors for New Zealand: The constantly cheerful and mischievous Kea Parrots. It is thus only fitting that the Kea, the world’s only high-altitude parrot, lent the exquisite Whare Kea Lodge its name.

A luxury hotel par excellence, the Whare Kea Lodge became a member or the celebrated Relais & Chateaux association in 2003. Incidentally, “Whare Kea”, pronounced “far-eh-kee-ah”, translates into “house of the kea”.

However, you may look forward to creature comforts no parrot has ever been fortunate enough to enjoy. Perfectly located directly on the scenic Wanaka Lake, the stunning views are the first thing that meets the eye.

The Whare Kea Lodge’s architecture is characterised by the attributes space, light and air – a concept that allows you to breathe freely and unfold at your leisure. The ambience is supremely welcoming and cosy.

No matter whether you are snuggling up in front of the open fireplace in the evening or indulging in a gourmet dinner in the dining room built entirely from glass – relish the stylish flair and graceful elegance!

The first-class cuisine’s delicacies are a delightful blend of French, modern European and New Zealand flavours. Served with a French champagne or a select local wine … bon appétit!

And, of course, the glass construction seasons every meal with a breathtaking view. The Whare Kea Lodge seemingly floats above the deep blue water, emitting a peculiar sense of buoyancy. The perfect place for a perfect holiday!
