Cardrona Terrace Estate vineyard and Cardrona Terrace Lodge are nestled at the base of the Cardrona Valley on the outskirts of Lake Wanaka in Central Otago, New Zealand.
Our Wanaka exclusive accommodation features a purpose-built luxury lodge, and is ideally suited for business or pleasure. An ideal base to explore the Wanaka region.
Whether you are visiting the region for a specific event, or you are seeking to experience more of what the Wanaka region has to offer, at our Wanaka luxury holiday lodge we will help you enjoy a perfect business or holiday getaway.
Our five-star Wanaka luxury holiday lodge—Zingara—is designed with eco-friendly thermo-mass construction to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Zingara is set in 50 acres of vineyard and pasture, and is just five minutes from the centre of Wanaka.
Zingara offers guests a luxury complex for their exclusive use. All our rooms have spectacular views of the mountains with a vista from the Cardrona valley in the south to Mount Maude to the north. Black peak and Mount Avalanche dominate the western view.
Fitted throughout with dramatic Italian lighting, tribal rugs which theme each room and artwork, the lodge has that 'special' ambience which is its own.
Constructed of exposed river shingle aggregate with a copper roof, it has been designed to reflect the changing colours, the moods, and the light of the Central Otago landscape.
Birdlife abounds in the surrounds and the celestial viewing at night from the upper decks is magical.
The grounds of this Wanaka exclusive accommodation have been planted for sense and smell with organic herbs, olives and nut trees. Take the time out, away from the stresses and pressures of everyday life to come and share with us the awe inspiring scenery, delicious food and fine wines.
Our boutique garden vineyard specialises in Pinot Noir and Riesling with our 2008 vintage available to guests, planted on loamy river terrace soil to give each harvest a unique depth and character balanced with an intensity of flavour.

Hemmed in by the Southern Alps, Wanaka is Otago's second resort after Queenstown. The crystal-clear waters of New Zealand's fourth-largest lake reflect the snow-capped peaks of the Mount Aspiring National Park World Heritage Area, whose dominant feature is Mount Aspiring, towering above a magnificent glacier-sculpted wilderness.
The highlight of the attractions at Wanaka is the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum at Skyshow Centre, with the largest collection of airworthy World War Two fighters in the Southern Hemisphere. These 'old warbirds' take to the skies every other Easter, attracting admirers from far and wide.
Mount Aspiring National Park is renowned for fishing, climbing and hiking, including possibly the best collection of half-day walks in the country. In the nearby mountains are internationally rated skifields Cardrona, Treble Cone, the Waiorau Nordic Ski Area, and Harris Mountains Heliskiing—one of the largest operations of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
