The Wanaka Area

The best day off you'll ever have.

Every itinerary includes at least one non-flying day. In Wanaka, that's a feature, not a compromise.

On the ground

A great variety of walks, vineyards, shops and restaurants.

Lake and mountain walks

From gentle lakefront strolls to the famous Roys Peak track, all minutes from your door.

Central Otago vineyards

World-renowned Pinot Noir country. Cellar doors and vineyard lunches within easy reach.

Golf

Wanaka Golf Club's fairways come with lake and mountain views that ruin every other course.

Dining

An outsized restaurant scene for a small town, from casual lakefront to serious fine dining.

The lake itself

Swimming, kayaking, boating, or simply that famous Wanaka tree at sunset.

Warbirds heritage

Wanaka is home to New Zealand's warbird community and the biennial Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow.
