Mt. Isthmus

Sitting on a 7000 acre station, the Mt Isthmus villa looks out over Lake Hāwea — which is one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets. Rugged and steep mountain ranges climb straight out of the lake’s shores on all sides, and with some of the clearest waters in the country it really is a sight to be savored.

The four suites are the epitome of luxury with super king-size beds; each with an ensuite, the latest in interior furnishings and views that make waking up an unforgettable experience. The dining facilities are of the highest standard with a state of the art kitchen and with the luxury of having our chefs take care of your meals providing five star service and creatively refined menus.

The unparalleled luxury doesn’t simply pertain to the villa itself — with the surrounding areas catering to a diverse and heart racing range of activities unique to the area. Ensconced in the adventure tourism region of New Zealand, guests will find skiing, kayaking, rock climbing, jet boating, mountain biking, horse trekking, and sky diving almost literally on their doorstep. For those of a slightly slower orientation, the area offers world class fly fishing, back country hiking, and not to mention some of New Zealand’s most revered vineyards — world famous for their Central Otago Pinot Noir grapes.
