Nestled in the picturesque Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island, Wanaka experiences hot, dry summers and cold, crisp winters. With the lake on its doorstep, holiday makers take to the water for watersports and fishing as well as getting out to explore the region's mountains, lakes and rivers. Come winter time, Wanka's 3 ski resorts host snow bunnies from all over the world to experience the alps.
