Wanaka: description of the city.
Wanaka is a small town set on a beautiful lake in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It is a safe, peaceful and unpolluted location. The town has excellent services and facilities and as well being the gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park, a World Heritage Area.
Just 50 minutes drive from Queenstown over the magnificent Crown Range Highway, Wanaka perfectly complements its vibrant neighbour. Indeed the name Wanaka translates from Maori as “renewal of the soul”.
The town is set on the southern shore of the lake across from Mount Aspiring, the centrepiece of Mount Aspiring National Park. The park features a multitude of different landforms: hanging valleys, lake basins and some one 100 glaciers of different shapes and sizes. It offers innumerable possibilities for nature lovers and pioneers.
Downtown there’s a pretty shopping village with a wide variety of ambient areas to eat and relax. The fishing is superb, there’s a multitude of adventure activities on offer and anywhere you walk you’ll find breathtaking scenery and wide open spaces.
Surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled on the shores of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is New Zealand’s premier four season lake and alpine resort destination.Whatever you do, whatever your style, Queenstown will feed your imagination, fuel your passions and revitalise your spirit. Summer in Queenstown is seriously rejuvenating. The enviable alpine climate and long leisurely days are ideal for adventurous holidays and fantastic outdoor living.
It’s not all about testing gravity with bungy jumps, swings and skydives though. Queenstown happily lends itself to everyone’s idea of fun and there are plenty of kicks from a round of frisby golf in the gardens or a rejuvenating spa bath under the stars. Summertime is also high season for the region’s many stunning walking tracks.
