Whakahā

Luxury Accommodation.

Set on twelve private hectares in Peel Forest, just fifteen minutes from Geraldine, Whakahā is an all-inclusive, exclusive-use luxury holiday home that sleeps ten. One curated local experience is included with every stay.

The whole property is yours, with no other guests and no shared spaces: four bedrooms across a single level, floor-to-ceiling windows framing Mt Peel and the Rangitata River, and private access to the river below. Whakahā means to breathe out, and that is exactly what happens when you arrive. Open year-round, with a minimum stay of four nights.

Inside and out, everything is anticipated so there is nothing to arrange. A meal is waiting on arrival, the kitchen stocked with fresh produce, local meats and snacks, and the wood already split for the fire. All meals are included, along with daily housekeeping, and dinner at a selected local restaurant is covered too – one price for up to ten guests, so nobody needs to stop for groceries or make a list. Your concierge is on call for anything else the trip calls for. Suitable for multigenerational families, groups of friends, and milestone occasions. Infants welcome (baby cots available) and well-behaved, non-shedding dogs (or horses) are welcome too.
