Wake to the golden glow of sunrise over the Pisa Range, fall asleep under some of the clearest starry skies in New Zealand, and enjoy the calm that only 4 acres of countryside can offer. Welcome to Tarras Serenity Haven, a luxurious guest room tucked away in nature, yet perfectly placed just off Highway 8 for easy access to Wānaka, Queenstown, and Cromwell. Set on our peaceful lifestyle block, this private guest room offers the perfect mix of comfort, tranquillity, and natural beauty. Sink into a Super King-size bed with premium linens and soft lighting, designed for rest and rejuvenation. Just steps away, you'll find a thoughtfully designed shared bathroom with a rain shower and a deep bath that looks out across the hills—a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. In the cozy shared lounge, you'll find everything you need to start your morning right: a Nespresso machine, a variety of teas, filtered water, a fridge, and microwave for simple meals or snacks. There’s no full kitchen, so we recommend planning ahead or asking us for tips on our favourite local spots. The nearby Tarras Country Café, Maori Point Vineyard, and Cloudy Bay cellar door are all within five minutes' drive and full of local flavour. Outside, relax in the garden area, where native birds flutter by and friendly sheep graze nearby. You’ll be warmly greeted by our two gentle dogs, Wai and Maggie, who are always happy to say hello—but if you’d prefer not to meet them, just let us know and we’ll make sure they’re kept in their space. Looking for something extra special during your stay? We also run Catch a Fish, offering guided lake fishing trips on Wānaka or Hāwea. Whether you’re a keen angler or just want to enjoy peaceful time on the water, we’d love to take you out—and as our guest, you’ll receive an exclusive discount. Please note: - Your private guest room is part of our home, and the shared spaces (bathroom and lounge) are maintained to the high standard of cleanliness.
