The Region

Wanaka lies at the heart of the Southern Lakes, New Zealand's alpine wonderland, in the southwest of the South Island. Wanaka Township is situated in a dramatic glacier-carved basin on the shores of the lake and is the gateway to the Mt Aspiring National Park World Heritage Area.

The Park, named after it's highest peak, 3027 meter Mt Aspiring, extends over 2900 sq. km along the Southern Alps providing recreation opportunities from short walks and tramps to technical ice climbs or spectacular sightseeing flights.

The rivers and beautiful Lake offer lots of activities including jet boating, canoeing, rafting and excellent fishing. Wanaka is near several good ski fields (June to September)-Treble Cone, Cardrona and a snow farm for cross-country skiing.

It's a stunning place with heaps to do in all seasons. For more information click here for Lake Wanaka Tourism's guide to Accommodation, Restaurants and much more. On the adjoining property to the vineyard the upmarket Guest House Aoturoa has recently been built. If you seek rural tranquillity by the Clutha River the wonderful hosts Jon and Leslie Davies will make you feel most welcome.
