Important Booking Information
All rates are quoted in New Zealand dollars and include GST. Rates shown are indicative 'from' rates and may vary depending on your dates, length of stay, number of guests and seasonal demand.

Peak-season rates and longer minimum stays may apply, over major holiday or event periods.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required for bookings made more than 60 days before arrival. The remaining balance is due 60 days before arrival. Bookings made within 60 days of arrival require full payment.

A booking management fee applies to all reservations.

A refundable security bond is required for every stay. The bond starts from $NZD 1,000 and may be higher depending on the property, nightly rate and length of stay.

Standard check-in is between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, with check-out by 11:00 am. Early arrivals and late departures are subject to availability and may incur additional charges.

Guest numbers must not exceed the confirmed occupancy. Parties, events and additional visitors require prior written approval. Smoking is not permitted, and pets are accepted only at selected properties with prior approval.

Villas, holiday homes and apartments are not commercial entities like hotels. Properties offered by Release NZ are often booked well in advance and can be difficult to re-rent at short notice. Payments are therefore non-refundable if a guest cancels. We strongly recommend that all guests take out comprehensive travel insurance to protect against cancellation charges, medical expenses, travel disruption and other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent them from travelling.

Only the services and amenities listed under Inclusions are included in the accommodation rate. Additional housekeeping, private chefs, provisioning, transfers, activities and other concierge services can be arranged separately.

By confirming a reservation, guests agree to Release NZ’s full Terms and Conditions.

What our customers say

"The view. WOW! So amazing! Great space, great set up! So happy with the experience!"

LIZ, AUSTRALIA

"This villa near Beacon Point on the bank of Lake Wanaka was wonderful. The back deck with views of the lake is completely private. We saw beautiful sunsets from the entire back of the house. At night the sky is completely dark over the lake with spectacular stars. This villa totally exceeded our expectations. Lovely."

RICH, USA

"Great location and incredible views to wake up to. House is beautifully designed and well set up, between huge opening doors and deck and the fireplace, it was fantastic no matter the weather."

DARREN, NZ

"Great location - well maintained property- good service."

PETRUS, NETHERLANDS

We absolutely loved Aurum, it was perfect and having the personal chef on our last night was sensational. We could not get enough of the wonderful view, the house was spacious and immaculate; a credit to your team and the owners. A very big thank you and we would definitely book again.

KATHY, AUSTRALIA

The view to this accommodation is spectacular!! A fantastic look out to the mountains and lake below. The Release team were very responsive and helpful to work with. We stayed as a couple and thought for two people it was fairly priced. The booklet of information with local spots to eat and activities was also appreciated.

"We had a wonderful time staying at Aurum in Wanaka. The property was beautiful and the view is unmatched. We enjoyed the spacious rooms and the outdoor space. The front garden is gorgeous.
