The Alpine Edge - Windwhistle Holiday Home
Surrounded by mountain peaks, native bush, and rugged landscapes, this holiday home offers the perfect mix of comfort and outdoor excitement.
Set across two levels, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat is designed for explorers who love returning to a warm, stylish home. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and cosy, with a 24kW log burner to keep you toasty after a day in the elements. There's also a heat pump for quick, convenient warmth. Large windows frame breathtaking views of the Southern Alps, creating a picture-perfect backdrop to your stay.
Step outside onto the spacious patio, where the sights and sounds of nature surround you. Overlooking the golf course and nearby water features, it’s the perfect spot to fire up the BBQ, unwind, and share stories from your day’s adventures.
The Alpine Edge comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests. Upstairs, the main bedroom features a super king bed and an ensuite with a relaxing corner spa bath. A second bedroom upstairs offers a queen bed. Downstairs, you’ll find a king bedroom and another queen bedroom, alongside a recently renovated main bathroom.
You’ll enjoy a well-equipped kitchen, full laundry facilities, WiFi, and a Smart TV - though chances are, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors.
This Windwhistle accommodation is perfectly positioned for lovers of the outdoors - explore the Rakaia Gorge Walkway, hit the slopes at Mt Hutt, go jet boating on the Rakaia River, or try clay pigeon shooting, archery, and golf all just minutes away.
Whether you're chasing snow, trails, or tranquility - The Alpine Edge is your ideal high-country escape.
