Wanaka's scenery is so stunning it could be a screensaver. The snow-capped mountains loom overhead. The lake sparkles. Mount Aspiring National Park overflows with lush, pristine wilderness. Explore the landscape via biking trails, hiking trails or ski slopes. Or book a room with a view to admire it all from your accommodation.
Not to brag, but Wanaka looks good all year round. Spend the summer on the lake, winter on the slopes and autumn in the forest admiring the spectacular fall colours.
