Shania Twain's Mahu Whenua Lodge (former)

Mahu Whenua is a ridge-top homestead above Lake Wānaka that served as the New Zealand home of Shania Twain and Mutt Lange. It now operates as an exclusive-use luxury lodge.

Lange and Twain, then his wife, jointly bought the Motatapu and Mt Soho stations in 2003 for NZ$21.5M, the NZ Herald reports. Lange later added Glencoe and Coronet Peak.

Twain built the stable block and arena, and the homestead served as the couple’s residence on the station, according to NZ Herald’s Viva magazine in 2021.

In 2015 Lange placed QEII National Trust covenants over 90 to 95 percent of the four stations, the largest conservation project on private land in New Zealand.

Guests book the whole lodge, which sleeps up to 12 in 5 suites, with a pool and the stables. It stands on private station land well back from the public road.
