Taking a View | Release Private Retreat, Wanaka (New Zealand)

When you want to say more than I DO, you can’t do better than saying it here. Choosing the full white-frock or a casual-chic partnership, you’ll face the future with only the 21st century ringing your bells.

Choosing Release Private Retreat tells everyone - well, up to 50 of your nearest and dearest - that you plan to do things differently. You both say No to a sit-down reception. But you say Yes to a ceremony flooded with natural light and a backdrop of stupendous views. And then to gossip, gorgeous cocktails and fantastic finger food designed and
prepared by the in-house chef.

Release Private Retreat is a cutting-edge architectural masterpiece, positioned with
commanding panoramic views of Lake Wanaka, Treble Cone ski resort and the rugged peaks of Mt. Aspiring National Park. It’s furnished with unique, contemporary New Zealand - designed furniture, with artwork and sculptures from local emerging
artists.

If you decide to stay on - and you should - each of the three double guest rooms has its own bathroom with more sensational views; there’s a hot tub in the grounds, too. Choose between the total privacy of self catering or the luxury of fully hosted with
your own private chef. There’s a 24/7 concierge service, too. You could be skiing on snow or water, fishing, backcountry adventuring, mountaineering, flying a vintage Tiger Moth, exploring wineries or dining on some of New Zealand’s greatest food and wine.

But nothing quite matches the style of saying I DO at Release Private Retreat.
