Wanaka Attractions, New Zealand

Wanaka, a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is located at the southern end of it's namesake lake and is surrounded by snow capped mountains in the winter months.

Wanaka is the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park - a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests and alpine lakes.

Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are close neighbours to the National Park.

A short distance from the town is the outdoor maze and sculpture gallery of Puzzling World.
