Wānaka lakefront

Wānaka

A relaxed lake town with the famous #ThatWanakaTree and Mount Aspiring on the doorstep.

Wānaka is Queenstown's calmer neighbour — a clear alpine lake, a laid-back town and quick access to Mount Aspiring National Park, Roys Peak and the Rob Roy Glacier. The lone willow in the lake (#ThatWanakaTree) is a rite of passage at sunrise.

Lakefront camping here is a short stroll from cafés and the water, and a great base for tramping, swimming and the drive over the Crown Range or up the West Coast.
