Richie McCaw and Gemma Move Into Stunning New Wānaka Home
All Blacks legend Richie McCaw has offered fans an exclusive first look at the home he and his wife, former Black Stick Gemma McCaw, have built in Wānaka. The couple’s highly anticipated move signals the start of an exciting new chapter for their family.
Taking to social media, McCaw shared a heartfelt message alongside a photo of himself standing proudly in front of the newly completed home with his building team.
“The finished house is amazing, and we really appreciate the care taken and how easy they made the whole project,” McCaw wrote. “Can’t wait to move in for Christmas.”
The move to Wānaka represents a significant lifestyle change for the McCaws, who are leaving Christchurch after a decade. Earlier this month, Gemma shared the news of their relocation, citing a desire for a life filled with adventure and connection to nature.
“It’s time to say goodbye to Christchurch as we embark on a new adventure in Wānaka. For the past 10 years, this city has been my home,” Gemma posted.
She reflected on the cherished memories of their time in Christchurch, where they welcomed their three daughters and built a strong community of friends.
“It’s where we welcomed our three beautiful girls into the world and where I arrived knowing only a handful of people but now leave with lifelong friends.”
The couple’s new home is situated in Hāwea Flat, a picturesque area known for its stunning landscapes and outdoor lifestyle opportunities.
Fans of Richie and Gemma have expressed their excitement for the family’s new adventure, applauding their choice to embrace a lifestyle that aligns with their values of family, health, and connection to the outdoors.
The McCaws’ move has also fueled curiosity about Wānaka’s growing appeal as a destination for families and retirees alike. Known for its world-class scenery and recreational opportunities, the region continues to attract those seeking a balance of tranquility and adventure.
As Richie and Gemma settle into their new home, their fans look forward to updates from their life in Wānaka, where they’ll undoubtedly continue to inspire with their down-to-earth values and love for the Kiwi way of life.
