Mountain Terrain in the area: Wanaka is located on the southern shores of Lake Wanaka, in west Otago. Embraced by the Southern Alps, Wanaka is Otago's second resort town after Queenstown. The crystal-clear waters of Lake Wanaka, New Zealand's fourth largest lake, reflect the snow-capped peaks of Mount Aspiring National Park. Here you can absorb the unstoppable beauty of pristine wilderness, and know that it will be easy to find a great restaurant for dinner. You don't have to be a mountaineer to enjoy the delights of the park (although any one of a dozen world-class local guides can accompany you to the top). The township of Wanaka is a magnet for visitors who want to find the perfect combination of outdoor adventure and indoor luxury. There are comfortable places to stay, great shops and eateries—and all the time there's the call of the wild. The lake, mountains and around-the-year events calendar will keep you looking forward to tomorrow. The seasons are particularly noticeable in Wanaka. Spring (October - December) brings an abundance of blossom. Summer brings cloudless, hot, sunny days (January - March). Autumn brings splendid colours of gold and red (April - June), Winter brings crisp days, and snow lovers can enjoy huge freedom the mountain slopes (July - September). In the heart of the Southern Lakes you'll find the time and space to revitalise your soul.

Owner profile: Tracy & Stephen own and run a successful construction/building company on the Great Ocean Road and Surf Coast in Victoria, Australia. They live on the beach with their two sons, who both are in high school. The family enjoy traveling, snow skiing, snorkeling, diving and many other fun and adventurous activities. Because of our love for skiing and snow sports after another brilliant family holiday in Wanaka we decided that we had to have a second home here. We love Wanaka and surrounds and have been amazing surprised how beautiful it is in the Summer as well as in the Winter. Having traveled extensively Wanaka is surely one of the most special places on Earth.
