BUNKER
HOUSE

Cradled between the stars and the expansive intermontane Mackenzie Basin lies a retreat unlike any other. Meticulously designed by esteemed architects to blend into its surroundings, an oasis of solitude where the mind and body merge with nature.

METICULOUSLY 
DESIGNED

Soak yourself in luxury as you witness last rays of sunlight reflect off the majestic snow-capped peaks, rediscover your passion for literature in front of the seamless Stovax log burner, or just gaze over the ever-changing landscape in all her nuanced beauty.

The property is amongst farmlands and is around 10-15 minutes driving out of the village of Lake Tekapo. You will need to let us know of your arrival time in advance so we can meet you and guide you there. You will need a car to get to the property and to get around during your stay.
