Wanaka - a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It's the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests, and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are both 45 minutes away. In the winter months you will find our ski mountains a buzz with activity and in summer months we are all on the lakes (Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea).

While our outdoor scenery steals the show, our indoor attractions are just as exciting. If the weather isn't cooperating or you just need a day inside, check out Wanaka's range of indoor activities. From hitting the town for shopping and cinemas, or high energy pastimes, like swimming laps or climbing, to relaxing with yoga, a massage or spa pools. You can even get lost for fun at our famous Puzzling World. We don't let bad weather get in our way! Check out our galleries for local art you'll love.

Great little apartment

Suited us perfectly as we dined out. Kitchen is quite small, might be challenging if you wanted to cook anything too complicated. Bed comfortable, good shower, warm and sunny.
