Wanaka New Zealand
Wanaka, set on the shore of beautiful Lake Wanaka in
Central Otago has mountain and water vistas that change from one beautiful
season to the next. Summer is always a great time to visit with long
days, plenty of fine weather and the lake to enjoy. Autumn has its
own magic as the poplar and other deciduous trees turn to gold, with
a dusting of snow on the peaks of the Mount Aspiring National Park
that defines the ridgelines. Winter is the time to head to the ski
fields at nearby Cardrona and Treble Cone before returning to Wanaka
for some après ski relaxation in front of a cosy log fire, a soak
in a hot tub, wining and dining in town, or perhaps a sumptuous meal
provided at lodge accommodation.
Central Otago has burgeoning wine industry with the variety
and quality of its wines going from strength to strength. With large
quantities of vines having been planted in recent times around the
Lake Dunstan area located 30 minutes from Wanaka.
A number of excellent walking trails - from 30 minutes upwards - can
be accessed from your Wanaka base. An excellent walk to a viewing
point for the Rob Roy Glacier is located approximately 1 hour from
Wanaka by taking the road along the scenic Matukituki Valley followed
by a hike of around 3 1/2 hours total return - allow all day for the
Wanaka/Wanaka return trip with a picnic lunch. (Some uphill sections
- good footwear and moderate fitness required).
The Wanaka area is popular for hiking,
golf, mountain biking, fly fishing and of course skiing and snowboarding
in winter.
