About this property

Tuhura Retreat - Luxury Alpine Accommodation

Tuhura Retreat is an elevated alpine sanctuary designed for those seeking refined luxury, privacy, and a deeper sense of escape. Architectural and thoughtfully crafted, this four-bedroom retreat blends contemporary design with the raw beauty of the high country, creating a truly memorable stay at Mt Cardrona Station Resort. Inside, the home unfolds into a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space - perfect for entertaining, hosting with a private chef, or unwinding after a day in the mountains. Designer finishes, underfloor heating, and a gas fireplace ensure year-round comfort, while expansive glazing frames uninterrupted mountain views and floods the interior with natural light. Each of the four bedrooms is appointed with a king-split bed, allowing flexible sleeping arrangements without compromising on luxury. With mountain outlooks from the bedrooms and three beautifully finished bathrooms, every guest enjoys space, comfort, and privacy - making Tuhura Retreat especially well suited to business retreats, executive escapes, or high-end ski groups. Step outside to the sheltered outdoor patio, where a BBQ and sweeping alpine views set the scene for relaxed evenings and unforgettable sunsets. As part of the new resort-style Mt Cardrona Station, guests also enjoy exclusive access to private hiking and biking trails across 400 hectares of pristine high-country terrain. Ideally positioned just 20 minutes from Wanaka and moments from Cardrona Alpine Resort, Snow Farm, and the Cardrona Valley’s iconic attractions, Tuhura Retreat offers a rare blend of seclusion and connection. It’s not just a place to stay - it’s a destination in itself.
