About this property

Rippon Lea - Wanaka-Relax and unwind, or set out on an adventure

  • Be treated to the best of both worlds with this easy-care Wanaka home — the perfect base for your next escape.



    Spread across three levels, Rippon Lea offers a bright open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area with plenty of space for the whole family.



    The main living area features comfortable couches and a Smart TV with Netflix. For something cosier, settle into the second sitting area with a fireplace, cane sofas, and views of Mt Roy — an ideal winter retreat.



    The modern kitchen and dining area, fully renovated in 2020, has everything you need to cook up a storm. The dining table comfortably seats six, or you can step outside to the balcony to fire up the BBQ and enjoy alfresco dining with mountain views.



    With direct balcony access from the first floor, you can soak up the sunshine on the outdoor lounge suite in summer, or enjoy the seamless flow of indoor/outdoor living all year round.



    -- Bedrooms --

    -Master Suite (Top Level): Spacious king bed, walk-in wardrobe, private ensuite, and a dedicated home office nook. Wake to Lake Wanaka views and retreat each evening to your own sanctuary.

    - Bedroom 2 – The Queen Room (Middle Level): A peaceful queen bed with garden outlooks — a tranquil retreat for couples or visitors.

    - Bedroom 3 – The Bunk Room (First Floor): Two single beds plus a bunk set, with plenty of storage and easy access to the main bathroom — perfect for kids or extra guests.



    -- Bathrooms --

    - Main Bathroom: Family-friendly with a bathtub, separate shower, vanity, and toilet.

    - Ensuite (Master): Light-filled with a walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet.

    - Separate Toilet: Conveniently located near the main bathroom.



    --Location--

    Rippon Lea is perfectly positioned to give you the best of Wanaka. Just moments from Edgewater Resort and the shores of Lake Wanaka, you’ll find endless opportunities for lakeside walks, picnics, or a morning coffee with a view. The vibrant Wanaka town centre is only a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute stroll away, where you’ll discover boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and the famous Wanaka Tree.



    In summer, enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking on the lake, then cycle the scenic tracks that wind through native bush and along the shoreline. Pack a picnic for the lakeside or visit Rippon Vineyard for world-class wines with breathtaking views. Long days are made for BBQ dinners on the balcony as the sun sets over the mountains.



    In winter, Wanaka becomes a snow-lover’s playground. After a day on the slopes, stay cosy by the fire at Rippon Lea — with Treble Cone just 30 minutes away and Cardrona Alpine Resort within 40 minutes. For a slower pace, try snowshoeing, scenic drives, or unwind in nearby hot pools with alpine vistas.



    Year-round, the town offers something for everyone: quirky fun at Puzzling World, film nights at the iconic Cinema Paradiso, weekend farmers markets, art galleries, and family-friendly playgrounds. Whether you’re chasing adventure or craving relaxation, Rippon Lea puts you close to everything that makes Wanaka special.



    ✨ Relax and unwind, or set out on an adventure — your Wanaka escape starts here. Welcome to Rippon Lea.

Beautiful home, located in a neighborhood very close to main section of Wanaka. The back porch is such a great area to relax and enjoy the outdoor beauty. The check in process was clear and easy, the home was very clean and well equipped. Great location for visiting the Wanaka area.
