Nestled in the midst of a park-like setting, the Minaret Lodge Wanaka, one of many Wanaka hotels, gives guests easy access to Wanaka’s lake and city center. The hotel is surrounded by oaks, silver birches, and larch trees, and it offers guests beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Guests of the Minaret Lodge Wanaka will find that walking into town or to the lake is quite easy, as they are both a few minutes’ walk away.

Each of the hotel’s chalets features private bathrooms, coffee and tea makers, complimentary mineral water, microwaves, fridges, and cable television. Each of the Minaret Lodge Wanaka’s chalets includes its own private veranda with stunning mountain views.

The Minaret Lodge Wanaka is really a collection of several private chalets, which are built in the traditional style of the region, and which are ecologically sustainable. The chalets all feature beautiful furnishings and local art. The hotel offers guests breakfast each morning and three-course dinners each night, and guests can also enjoy a sauna, a spa, and mountain bike and ski storage. The hotel offers Lord of the Rings lovers tours of the areas where parts of the movies were filmed.
