Exciting new developments underway at Wānaka

Nestled beneath snow-capped peaks and surrounded by some of New Zealand's most breathtaking landscapes, Wānaka has long been a favourite destination for adventurers, families and nature lovers alike. Now, there's even more reason to plan your next getaway.

Tasman Holiday Parks – Wānaka is entering an exciting new chapter, with a significant redevelopment project set to enhance the guest experience and further cement the park as one of the South Island's premier holiday destinations.

Scheduled for completion in early 2027, the project will introduce a range of new accommodation and infrastructure designed to provide even more ways for guests to relax, explore and enjoy everything this incredible region has to offer.

Nine Brand-New Villas

Leading the development are nine beautifully designed new villas, offering guests a contemporary and comfortable base from which to experience Wānaka.

Whether you're planning a family holiday, a romantic escape or an adventure-filled trip with friends, the new villas will combine modern conveniences with the relaxed holiday atmosphere guests know and love. Thoughtfully designed and positioned within the park, these new accommodation options will provide even more choice for visitors looking to stay in the heart of one of New Zealand's most sought-after destinations.

More Space for Road Trippers

For guests travelling with caravans, campervans and motorhomes, the redevelopment will also include 19 new hardstand sites complete with associated infrastructure upgrades.

As road-tripping continues to grow in popularity across New Zealand, the additional sites will help meet demand while providing guests with a comfortable and convenient place to stay. Whether you're exploring the Southern Lakes region or embarking on a South Island adventure, Wānaka will continue to be the perfect place to pull up, unwind and take in the spectacular alpine surroundings.

Improved Accessibility for All Travellers

As part of the redevelopment, Tasman Holiday Parks is also constructing a dedicated accessible accommodation unit adjacent to the existing lodge.

Designed to provide greater comfort and accessibility for a wider range of guests, the new unit reflects Tasman's commitment to creating inclusive holiday experiences where more people can enjoy the beauty of Wānaka with confidence and ease.

A Fresh New Welcome

First impressions matter, and guests arriving at the park can look forward to a completely refreshed entrance experience.

The development includes a new front entry statement featuring contemporary signage, upgraded fencing and attractive feature planting that reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding region. The revitalised arrival experience will create a welcoming sense of place from the moment guests arrive, while complementing the park's alpine setting.

Investing in the Future of Wānaka

These improvements form part of Tasman Holiday Parks' ongoing commitment to investing in regional tourism destinations across Australia and New Zealand.

Wānaka continues to attract visitors year-round, from winter skiers and snowboarders heading to nearby mountains, to hikers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the region during the warmer months. By expanding accommodation options and enhancing park facilities, Tasman Holiday Parks is ensuring the property remains well-positioned to welcome future generations of holidaymakers.

While the park evolves over the coming months, the things guests love most about Wānaka won't change: the stunning scenery, friendly atmosphere, easy access to world-class outdoor experiences and the chance to create unforgettable holiday memories with family and friends.

We can't wait to share more updates as the project progresses. Until then, keep an eye on our website and social channels as we continue building an even better holiday experience in one of New Zealand's most spectacular destinations.
