Wanaka Township is perfectly formed. Clothing boutiques are thoughtfully curated with a mix of iconic international and New Zealand brands. Alongside there are art galleries, adventure equipment stores, banks, pharmacies and supermarkets.
Crystal-clear water is the heart of Wanaka’s outdoor lifestyle with Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea the main drawing cards to the region for many. By kayak, boat, SUP, sail or jet boat you can explore and enjoy the lakes, rivers, beaches, islands, and waterfalls.
Surrounded by magnificent mountains, glaciers, lakes, rivers, wildlife, and World Heritage Areas, the awe-inspiring beauty of Wanaka is unforgettable and offers up picture-perfect moments. Mt Aspiring National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Area. By night, the Wanaka sky is so full of stars you may not want to sleep but star gaze.
For adrenalin-inducing adventure in awe- inspiring scenery, it’s hard to beat Wanaka. From Wanaka’s doorstep, you can skydive, tackle the world’s highest waterfall via ferrata, explore world-class canyons, fly a plane or get upside down in one, try off-road 4 wheel driving, quad biking, horse trekking and more.
Skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding and après skiing – there’s an experience on the snow for the starter to the seasoned pro across three diverse world-class ski fields a mere 40-minute drive from the town centre.
Stunning rides await the beginner and expert mountain biker and road cyclist.
Just 50m from the Wanaka Homestead & Lodges is probably the most photographed tree in New Zealand and the only one with its own hashtag #thatwanakatree. This 100-year old willow tree stands alone in the cool water of Lake Wanaka at Roys Bay. In the early 1900s, the tree started its life as a humble fence post in that very spot – just a sole determined branch chopped off a large willow plugged in the ground.
