Situated on the edge of the glassy waters of Glendhu Bay just 10 minutes from the Wānaka township, this family-owned, 1,200-hectare high country station strikes a flawless balance between raw, rugged farm heritage and contemporary alpine luxury. Operating as a fully sustainable, organic estate, the property offers a nostalgic, back-to-nature lifestyle aesthetic where rolling emerald paddocks meet the lake's edge. Framed by jaw-dropping, uninterrupted views looking straight down the lake toward the majestic, snow-capped peaks of Mount Aspiring National Park, it provides a deeply authentic, open-air South Island wilderness atmosphere.

For the ceremony, couples ascend a beautifully landscaped native walkway to an elevated clifftop sanctuary, exchanging vows against a breathtaking panoramic backdrop of the lake and surrounding craggy ranges. With the ability to have helicopters land just behind the ceremony location, couples can opt for an epic mountain peak heli flight to one of the surrounding peaks such as Coromandel Peak, Twin Peaks, Pisa Range, Isobel Glacier, Mt Burke or Lake Lochnagar

Receptions then flow down into the estate's crown jewel: the beautifully modernised historic Woolshed. This masterfully restored timber-and-iron building preserves over a century of character with its rustic internal structural beams, while introducing sleek, functional upgrades like a polished concrete dance floor, cozy internal heating, and massive roll-open windows that frame the shifting mountain twilight.

Glendhu Station grants couples complete freedom to craft a personalised vendor team, providing ample space for premium mobile food trucks, bespoke catering solutions, and external beverage vendors. The property also boasts luxurious on-site accommodation including the historic Homestead and a charming cottage (often bundled as a two-night stay), alongside customisable glamping setups right on the station.
