Trip overview
Set against a backdrop snow-capped peaks, Wanaka sits on the shores of the lake with the not-so-surprising name of Lake Wanaka. The area is renowned for its wild glaciers, verdant beech forests and alpine lakes. It’s a land for nature lovers, adventure junkies and ski bunnies during the season. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are not far away.
As well as spending time exploring the charming township, Wanaka is an ideal base for visiting the region’s famed vineyards and national parks. All in all, having 4 nights here is a wonderful way to experience the highlights of the South Island – and if you’re tempted to stay longer, just let us know!
