WANAKA
Wanaka is one of the two main accommodation centres in the Southern Lakes District and is surrounded by some of the most spectacular mountain and lake scenery in New Zealand.
From Wanaka you can ski or board at Cardrona and Treble Cone ski areas, plus you can go to Snow Park for their freestyle terrain park. Wanaka also has some of the best heliskiing in NZ.
Self drive travellers can drive around to Queenstown (71kms) for a day’s skiing or a night out.
Wanaka was once considered to be NZ’s secret and mainly skied by the locals, but word has got out over recent years and this region has matured into one of the best ski destinations in the Southern Hemisphere. |

GETTING THERE & GETTING AROUND
GETTING THERE: There are a few choices to get to Wanaka – Fly directly to Queenstown and drive or get a local transfer to Wanaka or fly into Christchurch and pick up a car and drive to Wanaka. Direct flights from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne operate into Queenstown one to five times a week.
GETTING AROUND: Once in the resort, choose between coach 'ski bus' or self drive rental car to get to and from the ski areas.
Ski Bus Travel: This is our most popular way to travel. ■ Sit back, relax and let someone else drive. ■ No driving on icy roads and fitting chains ■ No petrol & insurance costs ■ drop off close to ski area base buildings ■ Easy way to meet other skiers and to get to know our drivers/resort reps.
Self Drive Rental Car: The Self Drive option gives you the flexibility to do your own thing – to go where you want when you want.
