 A lakefront super luxury mountain chalet, Wanaka Lakehouse was created over a 5 year period for your wellbeing, comfort & pleasure; to building biology principles. Wanaka Lakehouse in an all timber European chalet with massive beams & posts & hand carved furniture & joinery throughout. We have decorated the Lakehouse with classic & contemporary art, antique furniture, Persian rugs and leadlight glass windows & doors. We have built the Lakehouse under the biohouse/ecohouse system, an eco-house is a dwelling with minimal impact on the environment, a bio-house is mainly concerned with optimizing human health, Wanaka Lakehouse is both. Built all from untreated timber, floors, walls, ceilings, roof and joinery; the house is warm and it breathes! We used biological/eco oils and varnishes and much olive oil to preserve the timber and use biological/eco products routinely in the house; from cleaners to soaps to food. We use huge 20m˛ solar panel collectors for heating the pool/spas, and hot water throughout.
