We feel incredibly lucky to call this land home. 🌿

The connection many of our guests feel to the whenua (land) and te taiao (natural environment) here in Wānaka is powerful and lasting.

That’s why for every guest night at Whare Kea, we donate to the Love Wanaka Community Fund, supporting local projects that protect and restore this special corner of Aotearoa.

Love Wānaka currently has grants open, $5,000 to $10,000, for initiatives nurturing te taiao and local biodiversity. Applications close 6 August.

If you feel the call to give back, we encourage you to donate too. Let’s continue to care for this place we all love.

📍 A quiet moment in the mountains, now brought to life on canvas.⁠
⁠
We are delighted to share that our 2024 Artist in Residence, Sarah Tomasetti, is opening an exhibition in Melbourne showcasing the body of work developed during and after her time at Whare Kea Chalet.⁠
⁠
Perched at 1750 metres in the remote Albert Burn Saddle, the chalet offered Sarah rare stillness, a space to reflect, observe, and create. Using fresco skins and earth pigments collected from the landscape, she crafted delicate wayfinding forms that echo both ancestral memory and the ever-shifting alpine terrain.⁠
⁠
As Sarah describes:⁠
“I’ve worked with mountain ranges for over 20 years, but never before with this sense of stillness, or proximity to the slow rhythm of change. Whare Kea allowed me that gift.”⁠
⁠
This exhibition brings that quiet intensity to Melbourne, a poetic exploration of land, light and time.⁠
⁠
We are proud to have supported this chapter in Sarah’s journey.
