al2401 Says: Wanaka is just off State Highway 6 which is the road to the west coast over the Haast Pass. After leaving Wanaka you travel to Albert Town and Hawea. The road continues along the west side of Lake Hawea until The Neck, which is a narrow piece of land between Lake Hawea and...
al2401 Says: Lake Hawea runs almost parallel with Lake Wanaka and at one place, called The Neck', is as close as 1 km. It is a popular place for water sports and fishing and the mountain streams are good for jet-boating. It is also close to the Wanaka and Cardrona Ski-fields.It is famous...
al2401 Says: Lake Wanaka is one of the most picturesque lakes in the South Island. There are still towering snow caps but the aspect seems softer. The area has lots to do all year round and is particularly popular in the autumn.Even in cloudy weather the autumn colours are still...
Robmj Says: Wanaka is a superb spot for doing some mountain biking. There are a variety of different trails, from beginner to experienced, take your pick. Or you can simply bike around the town and lake edge. There is a walking / biking track that loops right around the Lake edge from...
Robmj Says: This interesting Museum has a number of rare and unusual aircraft, cars, trucks, motorcycles, fire appliances, military vehicles and tractors, as well as automobiles. It is also jammed full of toys, more than 25,000 in fact. Come & visit, you will be amazed.
TheWanderingCamel Says: A quad bike safari is a great way to see some spectacular scenery and have a lot of fun. If you haven't ridden a quad before , they will give you time and enough turns around the paddock to feel you have more than got the hang of it, and then you're off. Up and up you go,...
TheWanderingCamel Says: This hugely popular airshow is a biennial event - the next one is Easter 2012 - taking place over three days. Friday is practice day - with public admission at a reduced cost.. Saturday and Sunday see a full day 's programme of flying. It's a great weekend with classic...

Trout: Somewhere to eat in Wanaka in between seasons
al2401 Says: Trout is quite a modern restaurant/bar and is one of the Montieth outlets. It is quite a friendly place and was warm on a cold night. Outside dining is available with a view over Lake Wanaka. Mum and I came here by chance as the restaurant we chose was closed and didn't open...
DSwede Says: Bombay Palace may be a chain restaurant with a few locations in various towns, but the one in Wanaka is a great place to get an economic and tasty Indian dish.The interior is modestly decorated with wood floors and tables. It looks more like a mountain lodge, but I guess...

The Crown Range Road is the most direct route between Wanaka and over to Arrowtown or Queenstown. It is a very high road and susceptible to ice and snow during winter months, but the views are stunning.
Its only 56kms long with Cardrona skifield and town at the mid point. The other way round (SH 6) takes about 20-30 minutes longer through the gorge.

Robmj Says: This is a hard alpine route that is in the Mt Aspiring National Park.The best way to do it is to start form the Aspiring Hut which is some 9kms or 2 hours in from the Raspberry Creek Car Park. From the hut, you climb quite steeply upto an area 1800 meters high known as the...
My Off The Snowy Beaten Path...
Tripack Says: Treble Cone is also reputated for off-piste skiing for advanced skiers and snowboarders. You will find here more advanced terrain for the off-piste powder skiing enjoyment. Just look at the snow/weather forcats for the next powder session.Treble Cone offers one of the best...
balhannah Says: From Wanaka, we were heading to the west coast, so we followed State Highway 6across the Clutha River at Albert Town and onto Lake Hawea Hydro Dam, 10kms from Wanaka. This lake is vivid blue because of the depth of the water - 410 metres.The road then follows the shore of...
THUNDER CREEK FALLS/ GATES OF HAAST
balhannah Says: Another waterfall in the Haast Pass and located close to the road, is the Thunder Creek Falls. This is a graceful and narrow 28m waterfall, dropping from the level of the glacier ice when a glacier was carving out the future bed of the Haast River 10,000 years ago. They fall...
Robmj Says: The Wanaka Golf Course is a very picturesque 18 hole golf course surrounded by mountains, overlooking the lake, situated on some hills just above the township of Wanaka. The front nine in particular has some very scenic holes, however the whole course is breathtaking with...
balhannah Says: We have friends who are very interested in building straw bale houses. To our surprise, we saw a few in Wanaka, very nice ones, and quite a few different designs. They were very popular, and you can stay in one too!We had a look around, took photos, and found out about the...
