Two queen bedrooms are complemented by rooms featuring super king bedding, including one convertible setup that can be arranged as two singles for added versatility.
Outside, the heated swimming pool becomes the focal point during Wānaka’s warmer months, offering a refreshing place to unwind from November through March. Guests can spend afternoons lounging poolside, exploring the nearby lake with the included paddleboard, or venturing into town just minutes away. With Wānaka’s cafés, wineries, walking trails, and ski resorts all easily accessible, Sapphire Spring Retreat provides the perfect balance of tranquility, adventure, and modern comfort in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after alpine destinations.
