Romantic elegance, European whimsy, and unadulterated class are few expressions that define the understated beauty of the two Moraine Villas – Villa Matariki and Villa Tautoru. Villa Matariki boasts two bedrooms on either side of the open-plan living area that features antique furniture, an open fireplace, and exquisite Italian interiors with wooden timber finish. Stunning glass doors frame spell-binding views of the Ben Oahu Ranges in Canterbury, South New Zealand. Nestled near the beautiful Lake Pukaki, Villa Matariki is a breath-taking escape into another world where the landscape remains untouched and luxurious.
The two bedrooms at Villa Matariki are designed identical to each other with European-style layouts featuring high ceilings, thick walls to cut off any external sounds, and sandstone flooring. The spacious bedrooms feature winged chairs for cosy reading and a king-sized bed that can be configured into twin beds for comfort. There are double-glazed french doors that open to the panoramic scenery. There are ensuite bathrooms designed in Edwardian style with tiled floors and walls and modern amenities with luxurious rain showers overlooking the mountain range.
Villa Matariki features a patio and lawn that overlooks one of the most stunning views in all of New Zealand, the Ben Ohau mountain rangers and the country landscape of Mackenzie Country.
