Set on the shore of Lake Wanaka beneath the Southern Alps, Wanaka Residences brings together premium accommodation, seasonal Otago cooking and an adults-only casino hall — a place to arrive, unwind, and stay a while.
ABOUT WANAKA RESIDENCES
Whether you are here to walk the Roys Peak track, to work quietly for a week, or simply to watch the light move across the water, our rooms are made to keep you longer than you planned.
Forty-two rooms, each looking out over either the lake or the alps. Downstairs, The Lakehouse serves breakfast until eleven, The Summit Bar pours until late, and our casino hall opens its doors at four.

THE LAKEHOUSE & THE SUMMIT BAR
Our kitchen cooks what Otago grows and lands: stone fruit from Cromwell, venison from the high country, blue cod from the coast. The menu changes with the season and the wine list stays firmly local.
Next door, The Summit Bar keeps a shorter, later menu, a proper cocktail list and a fire that runs from May to September.

Massage, sauna and a relaxation pool that looks straight at the alps.
Fitness room

Track bookings, jet boats, wineries, and a car when you need one.

Slot machines, electronic gaming and table games each evening, for guests aged 20 and over.

Covered, secure and complimentary for staying guests.
Meeting rooms
Two private rooms for eight and twenty, catered from The Lakehouse.
OUR CASINO HALL
Wanaka Residences has a casino hall on the ground floor, open daily from four in the afternoon. Inside you will find a floor of slot machines and electronic gaming machines, and a smaller room of table games — blackjack, roulette and poker — run by our own dealers.
It is a quiet, unhurried kind of casino: low ceilings, warm light, a bar in the corner. Come for an hour after dinner or settle in for the evening.
Entry is restricted to guests and visitors aged 20 and over. Photo identification is required at the door.
HOST RESPONSIBILITY
Wanaka Residences takes its Host Responsibility obligations seriously, in line with the Gambling Act 2003. Our casino hall is for adults aged 20 and over, our staff are trained to recognise the signs of problem gambling, and any guest may ask to be excluded from the hall at any time. Speak to a member of the team — the conversation stays confidential.
Gambling is meant to be entertainment. Set a limit before you start, do not chase a loss, and take breaks.
