About this property
Wharenui - Gorgeous sprawling character home with tennis court and spa pool
Wharenui is a spacious, rustic country family home, privately nestled amongst 11.5 acres of mature grounds, yet only a 5-minute drive to Arrowtown, 10 minutes to Coronet Peak ski field and 20 minutes to Queenstown.
Wharenui's main house has five bedrooms and two living rooms and a separate charming stone cottage sleeps a further four guests with two ensuite bedrooms and a living room.
The property has a swimming pool, spa pool, tennis court, an expansive lawn and bubbling stream. In the main house, the extremely spacious living room has a roaring fire and a pool table with gorgeous views of the mountains. There is also a cosy den with an open fire which is a more intimate space for relaxing, reading or watching TV. In summer, you can open up the french doors onto the terrace and dine under the pergola while you enjoy the late warm evenings or sit in the spa and admire the stars.
