Why Wanaka?
In many ways Wanaka is like a boutique version of better known Queenstown, 50 minutes drive to the south - you get a similar (locals reckon better) lakefront position and glorious views, and a good, though much smaller, selection of restaurants and cafes, shops and nightspots. It attracts a mix of upmarket skiers looking for a quieter getaway, family skiers who appreciate the first rate kids facilities at the neighbouring resorts, and hardcore freestyle skiers and boarders looking for action who appreciate the extensive off piste and steeps. You can ski or board either Treble Cone or Cardrona from Wanaka, both around 40 minutes drive from the town, or the Queenstown areas 70 – 90 minutes away. Or for the ultimate, this is the birthplace of heliskiing in New Zealand - ask for pre book details from your consultant or use your NZ 1 pass coupons with Alpine Heliski or HMH Harris Mountains Heliskiing. You pay a little more than Queenstown for similar standard accommodation, and we have a selection of superb upmarket lodges offering relaxing, romantic escapes.
