An isthmus is a narrow strip of land separating two bodies of water — here, it’s the stunning Lake Wānaka to the west and the crystalline Lake Hāwea to the east. Sandwiched between these two glacial lakes and with Isthmus Peak towering overhead, it’s easy to forget the world exists beyond our exclusive villa experience.
Getting Here
Just 20 minutes from Lake Wānaka, Mt Isthmus Villa offers an easily accessible yet completely private retreat. Access is available by private vehicle or by helicopter.
To ensure a seamless arrival, our reservations team is on hand to assist with all travel planning, arrangements, and transfers.
