Mount Isthmus Villa | New Zealand Villas

Mount Isthmus Villa is one of the best kept secrets in New Zealand. An Isthmus is defined as a thin strip of land, and this is one of the most picturesque in the whole world. The villa looks out onto the clear waters of Lake Hawea from the shoulders of Mount Isthmus and feels at one with the stunning wilderness it finds itself nestled in.

The villa itself is directly inspired by the mountains that surround it with the lake-facing and rear facades mimicking the peaks with jagged geometric cornicles of different heights, in direct correlation to the silhouettes of the overlooking summits. Options for enriching and adventurous activities are plentiful when the spacious open spaces of the villa draw you to explore the outdoors.

Truly off the beaten track, it's an escape that invites you to reset in the New Zealand fjords and marvel at its glacial lake views in total tranquillity — especially from the outdoor spa pool. Far from the lights of surrounding settlements, the dark blanket of night offers incredible visibility for starry nights to remember.

Though remote, you won't have to compromise on dining quality with personal chefs preparing elegant cuisine for breakfast and dinner in the state-of-the-art kitchen. With several spacious entertaining areas, and one featuring a mesmerising in-floor gas fire pyramid, Mount Isthmus is the perfect getaway for families and friends to make unforgettable memories together.

Activities & Entertainement

Discover a range of activities to explore the surrounding mountains and lakes in the most unique ways. Adventurers can embark on hikes through mountain valleys and experience the breathtaking scenery atop rocky peaks, or if you'd prefer to experience the vistas from a unique vantage point, why not take off on helicopter sightseeing tour?

If the season is right, we can privately charter a helicopter to take you to a choice of over 800 ski runs, giving you access to the most spectacular heliski terrain in the region. Recommended for intermediate to expert skiers.

If a peaceful day angling in the forest sounds like your idea of paradise, why not explore the backcountry on a full day fishing tour. Take a helicopter deep inside the native forest and cast your line out for trophy size rainbow and brown trout on an incredible day of fishing in virgin environments.
