-Geography
Lake Wanaka lies at the heart of the Otago Lakes in the lower South Island of New Zealand. The township is situated in a glacier carved basin on the shores of the lake and is the gateway to Mt Aspiring National Park. Lake Hāwea is a 15-minute drive away, en route to the frontier town of Makarora, the last stop before the West Coast Glacier region. To the south is the historic Cardrona Valley, offering an alpine route to neighbouring Queenstown. Otago Geography
Geology
At its greatest extent, which is roughly along a north-south axis, the lake is 42 kilometres long. Its widest point, at the southern end, is 10 kilometres. The lake's western shore is lined with high peaks rising to over 2000 metres above sea level. Along the eastern shore the land is also mountainous, but the peaks are somewhat lower.
Wanaka lies in a u-shaped valley formed by glacial erosion during the last ice age, more than 10,000 years ago. It is fed by the Matukituki- and Makarora Rivers, and is the source of the Clutha River. Nearby Lake Hāwea lies in a parallel valley carved by a neighbouring glacier eight kilometres to the east. At their closest point (a rocky ridge called The Neck), the lakes are only 1,000 metres apart.
Numerous small islands (notably Ruby Island, Stevensons Island and Harwich Island) are to be found at the southern end of the lake, with some now serving as ecological sanctuaries, for example for buff weka in case of Stevensons Island. The only flat land around the lake is also to be found here, surrounding the outflow into the Clutha River. The towns of Wanaka and Albert Town are situated here.
https://kids.kiddle.co/Lake_Wanaka
Wanaka Lake, lake in west-central South Island, New Zealand. The lake occupies 75 square miles (193 square km) of a valley that is dammed by a moraine (glacial debris) and that lies at the eastern foot of the Southern Alps. The lake’s surface is 915 feet (280 m) above sea level. It is probably more than 1,000 feet (300 m) deep. The lake drains a basin of 982 square miles (2,543 square km) and is fed by the Makarora (north) and Matukituki (west) rivers. Wanaka Lake is the source of the Clutha River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean. A dam at the outlet regulates the lake’s level as it releases water for use in the Roxburgh hydroelectric project. The first European to see the lake was Nathaniel Chalmers in 1853. The lake’s name is from the Maori word oanaka, “place of Anaka,” an early Maori chief. Wanaka is separated from Hawea Lake to the east by a narrow ridge of land known as The Neck.
https://www.britannica.com/place/Wanaka-Lake
Excavated by massive glaciers more than 10,000 years ago, Lakes Wanaka and Hawea lie side by side. At a sliver of land known as The Neck, which is just 1,000 metres wide, the glaciers were once joined.
Ringed by pebbly beaches and with magnificent views to the surrounding peaks, both lakes offer a variety of adventures, especially during the long, hot months of summer.
Lake Wanaka is the source of the Clutha River, which exits into the ocean near Balclutha on the eastern coast. Lake Hawea feeds into the Hawea River, which joins the Clutha River at Albert Town.
The Clutha River carries the largest volume of water of any river in New Zealand and has been dammed in a number of places for electricity generation. During the late 1800s, the river yielded a vast quantity of gold. At one point in time, there were 187 gold dredges working the river.

IV. Industrial Characteristics
The town of Wanaka, at the southern tip of the lake, is the centre of a resort region that also supports some sheep grazing and crop farming. First known as Roys Bay and then Pembroke (until 1940), it lies 175 miles (282 km) northwest of Dunedin by road.
https://www.britannica.com/place/Wanaka-Lake
In addition to ongoing sheep farming, the lake is now a popular resort, and is much used in the summer for fishing, boating and swimming. The nearby mountains and fast-flowing rivers allow for adventure tourism year-round, with jetboating and skiing facilities located nearby.
Lake Wanaka was repeatedly mentioned in the movie Mission Impossible III as a location the lead couple visited. It was the answer to Tom Cruise's question on the phone to verify the identity of his wife.
The cook and author Annabel Langbein owns a small estate at the side of the lake and filmed her series 'The Free Range Cook' and 'Simple Pleasures' here.

Key Projects:
Wanaka
Wanaka developer to build affordable community project on key site
In a fresh and community-focussed approach a local Wanaka developer plans to transform a problem intersection into a transport and housing hub.
The Mount Iron Junction project aims to address the shortage of affordable worker accommodation and also make the SH 6, Albert Town/Riverbank Road intersection safer and easier to navigate, using a new roundabout.
The development also includes a brand new service station and an upmarket motel, along with shops and a child care centre.
It is all the vision of Steve Schikker and Peter Greene. Schikker told Crux this morning that, as a long term local, he saw the opportunity to create something that would solve problems and turn a tricky intersection into a elegant collection of affordable, eco-friendly housing. "I'm an employer so I want to do the right thing by our workers. The accommodation will be warm, comfortable and affordable."
"The petrol station is important too" says Mr Schikker. "It's essential to have this type of service station out of town rather than taking up valuable space, and causing congestion, in the town centre. We are also working with NZTA on the roundabout design so that it will ease the existing major traffic and safety problems."
The Mt Iron Junction project will include 17 two and three bedroom two storey villas as well as Wanaka's first dedicated worker's village with accommodation for up to 90 seasonal and long term working residents.
Steve Schikker told Crux that he's been really impressed with the QLDC team who have assisted the project's progress so far. "They've all been really good. We were upfront right from the beginning and they have responded by being positive, helpful and collaborative."
"Another exciting factor of the project is that by providing dedicated worker accommodation we can help free up a lot of family homes for families. That's got to be good for the community."
No plan change will be required for Mt Iron Junction but it will need to go through the resource consent process.

7 KEY REASONS
We’ve summarised 7 key reasons to protect Wanaka (or put another way: why Wanaka does not need and should not accept a jet-capable airport right now). There are various versions of this, depending on the level of detail you want.
Below are the seven reasons, in just a couple of words. Beneath that version is one which is a little more detailed. For those seeking deep levels of detail, we have a more detailed document online, complete with links to relevant evidence, information, research and media reports.
Please note that this page and the detailed document were launched in early March 2020, just before the impacts of COVID-19 really hit New Zealand, and before the lockdown. The 7 key reasons still stand as fundamental reasons why a jet capable airport at Wanaka is a bad idea for the Upper Clutha right now. Despite current impacts on tourism and aviation, QAC now has substantial ownership and control of Wanaka Airport, unlawfully granted by QLDC, and this means that QAC is able to move forward on development of a jet capable airport at Wanaka sometime in the future.
There are many recent examples of Councils and Courts having rejected airport development or expansions on environmental grounds.
Aviation emissions are significant, but the “knock-on” effect of other emissions which a jet airport would create are also massive.
The noise impacts of a jet airport are significant and far-reaching
The likely impacts of climate change on the Queenstown Lakes District are clearly documented.
Here is the very detailed version of the “7 Key Reasons” – updated frequently.

V. Attractions
Wanaka with wings on
Wanaka is an all-year holiday destination with a passion for aviation.
Flight seeing operators are always keen to show off their playground over Milford Sound, Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring. Landings are available in remote parts of Mount Aspiring National Park for hikers, climbers and hunters.
Vintage plane enthusiasts can take a flight in a classic Tiger Moth.
Visit Warbirds & Wheels, Wanaka's very own aircraft and classic car museum.
A taste of Wanaka wilderness
The lake, mountains and ski fields around Wanaka provide endless scope for fun and adventure.
Get a guide to take you fly-fishing on the lakes, rivers and streams in the area. The region offers superb brown and rainbow trout fishing.
The best way to experience the lake is to get out on it. Take a boat cruise or try jet-boating. Wanaka's lake is a playground for paddle boarders, water-skiers, kayakers and wind surfers alike.
Go white water sledging or canyoning on the rivers - fast and furious fun for the daring.
Saddle up with a horse trek and venture into the wilderness - no previous riding experience required.
Walking in the mountains could be as simple as a one hour stroll or as challenging as a four day hike. Mount Aspiring National Park is a dreamland of mountains, glaciers, river valleys and alpine lakes.
Go mountaineering with a professional mountain guide.
Nordic or cross-country skiing is the thing to do at the Snow Farm.
The ski fields of Cardrona, Treble Cone, Soho Basin and Snow Farm are brilliantly equipped and offer a mix of terrain for skiers and snowboards of all abilities.
Quirky things to see
The people of Wanaka region are interesting and imaginative, as you can tell from these special attractions.
At Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World you'll get lost in a world unlike any other! With their mix of bizzare buildings, rooms of illusion and the world famous Great Maze, prepare to baffle your brain and challenge reality. Even the toilets offer a photographic treat!
At the classic movie theatre, Cinema Paradiso, you can choose either a comfortable couch or a car to sit in. Then at intermission (yes we still have that here in Wanaka) it’s time for hot cookies and homemade ice cream. A real treat.
Things are always cheerful at the Wanaka Beerworks, a boutique brewery located next to Wanaka airport.
Eclectic describes the collection at the National Transport and Toy Museum - there's everything from cars to fire engines, bicycles to army tanks, model cars to aircraft.
Take aim at Crossfire - the place to try your hand at a range of shooting activities. While you're there, show off your swing at the mini golf course.
https://www.newzealand.com/us/feature/lake-wanaka-attractions/
In addition, a willow tree in Wanaka has attracted many photographers because of its curvaceous shape and has been in the water for a long time. It is also known as the "Lonely Willow Tree" by the local photographer Icefield Chiga. It is one of New Zealand's representative attractions.
ENJOY THE WANAKA CITY VIEW FROM MOUNT IRON
Lots of articles call Mount Iron Track a walk instead of hike, but I would call it a hike because it’s just like the Roys Peak Track, but much shorter.
While the altitude of 250m doesn’t sound so impressive, the view it offers definitely is.
On the peak, you’ll get an unobstructed view over the snowy mountains of the Southern Alps, Lake Wanaka, and the picturesque Wanaka town.
The loop track goes 4.5km, and it’ll take you around an hour to get to the peak.
However, it’s a little tricky to find the parking lot to start your hike. It’s located 2km outside of town, and the carpark is so small that sometimes you wouldn’t even notice it. So pay extra attention when you’re driving there.
At the peak, you’ll also find a board showcasing all the names of the peaks you see at the Southern Alps. It’s something you should include on you list of what to see in Wanaka.
The entrance to Mount Iron Track is free of charge.
GO HELI-SKIING IN THE ALPS
If you’re looking for the best things to do in Wanaka in winter, and are a lover of skiing or snowboarding, then this is the best activity you could possibly try.
New Zealand gets some great snow during wintertime, but if you are aiming to get fresh turns on the ski fields, you need to be up there super early, as they get tracked out very quickly.
Alternatively, you need to have backcountry touring experience to find the best snow close to town.
Luckily there’s a way to get the absolute best powder without the stress or physical exertion of skinning up a mountain.
Heli-skiing!
For all skiers and snowboarders, heli-accessed powder is a dream. Being lifted up to the top of a peak, dropping into untouched, bottomless snow, then being picked up at the bottom to do it all over again.
Doesn’t get much better than that.
On our last visit to Wanaka we headed into the skies with Southern Lakes Heli, the best heli-skiing company in Wanaka and Queenstown, and had the most perfect conditions ever.
Flying from town for 15 minutes we were dropped into a huge bowl in the Southern Alps, and for the next few hours managed to get 8 insanely epic runs in.
The terrain was wonderful without being overly difficult (think blue/red runs in New Zealand), but the snow was amazing and the views were mind-blowing.
A delicious lunch was also provided right there in the snow.
Heli-skiing or heli-boarding with Southern Lakes Heli isn’t a cheap activity, but seriously is hard to beat when trying to think of the best adventure activity in Wanaka.
TAKE TO THE AIR WITH SKYDIVE WANAKA
I had my first-ever skydive in Wanaka, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in New Zealand, even though I was very tight on budget.
For an acrophobic like me, skydiving is something I’d never imagine myself doing.
Skydive Wanaka office is located right beside the Wanaka Airport. And there are a variety of ways you could book your slot with them, but I found out there’s no need to.
All you had to do is register yourself in the office, and you’ll be arranged the flight in a very short time. When it’s not that busy, of course.
I took the package of 15,000 ft skydive with 60 seconds free fall, pictures and videos included. And I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the photos and videos, so worth it.
Their orange old-school plane could carry around 8 pairs of guests and instructors, with some seats reserved to the videographer, who will freefall along with you.
If you’re planning to do a skydive in New Zealand, I recommend Skydive Wanaka because the view is simply amazing.
You’ll get to see the Southern Alps (Mt Cook & Mt Aspiring included), Lake Wanaka, Lake Hawea, Wanaka town and all the green farms down there during a clear day.
GO RIDING AT CARDRONA ALPINE RESORT
If Treble Cone is a bit too advanced for you, you’re in luck, because the nearby Cardrona Alpine Resort is one of the best ski resorts in the country for beginners, families and intermediates!
Just a short drive from downtown Wanaka on the way to Queenstown, Cardrona (known as Cardies to locals) is one of the best set-up ski fields in the South Island.
With 4 chair lifts servicing a large amount of fun terrain, there’s plenty of runs for people of every ability.
The ski school here is fantastic if you want to get some lessons, and freestylers will be stoked with the quality of work Cardrona’s park team crushes out.
There’s also a number of delicious food options scattered around the hill, and a spot to grab a hot drink at the top the Chondola.
Cardies was Alesha’s favourite resort on our recent 7-hill snowboard trip we did around the South Island.
Highly recommended when looking for what to d in Wanaka in winter.
HIKING IN DIAMOND LAKE & ROCKY MOUNTAINS TRACK
Weird name, huh? The track is actually a combination of two tracks, which are the Diamond Lake Circuit Track and Rocky Mountain Summit Track.
Like other tracks in New Zealand, the track starts at the parking lot, located around 20-30 minutes’ drive from the town.
There are a few tracks for you to choose from, a shorter Diamond Lake Circuit Track (45 minutes return) or Rocky Mountain Summit Track (3 hours return).
During the winter, you’ll find Diamond Lake frozen. It was once an ice skating field, but I’m not sure whether they still do it now. But other than that, you’ll find pieces of frozen ground in the shady parts of the track, so pay extra attention to where you step!
The Rocky Mountain Summit Track will bring you to the 775m peak of Rocky Mountain. And since the peak is quite ‘rounded’, there are quite a lot of spaces for you to sit back and relax.
Mountain biking is only allowed until Diamond Lake only, and not Rocky Mountain.
You’ll have a great view on Lake Wanaka and nearby snow mountains. And by nearby, I mean they’re literally just across the short valley. Seems to close yet so far.

VI. History and Culture
Exploration and settlement
While Māori had long known of its existence, the first European to reach the lake is thought to have been Nathaniel Chalmers in 1853. Accompanied by Māoris, he walked from Tuturau (Southland) to the lake via the Kawarau River, later returning by a raft floating down the Clutha. Around 1859, other explorers who were now mapping the area also found a ruined Māori village (destroyed in a tribal raid in 1836) in the Makarora Valley. Around 1861, several new sheep stations had been established in around the south end of the lake, and in 1862, the lake itself was surveyed in a whaleboat. The early European name was Lake Pembroke.
https://kids.kiddle.co/Lake_Wanaka
THE HISTORY OF THE WANAKA REGION
Gigantic glaciers created the neighbouring lakes of Hawea and Wanaka over 10,000 years ago, long before humans entered into the history of Wanaka. The joining point of those glaciers is now a kilometre-wide expanse of land named the Neck.
The first human settlements near these lakes were Maori summer campsites known as 'kianga'. The Maori fished and hunted for birds around Wanaka, before heading to the 'pounamu' (greenstone) deposits on the South Island's west coast.
The Maori name for the trail that leads through Haast Pass is Tiora-patea, which means 'the way is clear'. The pass was first used by Maori on their way to the pounamu (jade) rivers of the coast
A gold prospector called Charles Cameron is believed to be the first European to find the pass. He crossed over in January 1863, burying his powder flask to the west of the pass. Close behind him came Julius von Haast, who named the pass after himself and claimed to be the first European to have travelled through it, however the discovery of Cameron's flask discredited this claim. It took Julius von Haast and his party over four weeks to complete the journey, after being shown the start of the trail by Maori.
A Maori chieftain named Reko guided the area's first European visitor, Nathaniel Chalmers, in 1853. Another Maori chief, Te Huruhuru, sketched a simple map of the region at this time, which remains today.
European settlement began in the Upper Clutha River Valley in the 1850s, with the establishment of sheep stations by runholders. The first station was at Albert Town, the only place where settlers could ford the Clutha River. The world's first sheepdog trials were reportedly held in Wanaka in 1867.
The first gold rush started in 1863 with the discovery of gold in the Lindis River and Cardrona Valley and by 1870 Cardrona was the region’s largest town with a permanent population of 400 people. The population of Wanaka wouldn’t reach 400 until nearly one hundred years later in 1960.
The present site of Wanaka was first surveyed in 1863, and settlement increased in Pembroke (the old name for Wanaka) during the 1870s because of timber milling in the Matukituki and Makarora Valleys and the use of Lake Wanaka for transport.
Wanaka is believed to be named from the word Wānaka which is a South Island form of wānanga, meaning sacred knowledge or a place of learning. Residents changed the named from Pembroke to Wanaka in 1940.
Tourism in the town began in 1867 with the opening of the first hotel, by Theodore Russell and in 1883 the Theodore, a paddle steamer, offered cruises for tourists on the lake.
Mt Aspiring was first climbed by Major Bernard Head in 1909. Mt Aspiring National Park was gazetted in 1964 and then became part of the Te Wahipounamu – South West New Zealand World Heritage site in 1990.
The Haast Pass Highway was finally completed in 1965, after 30 years of work, linking the West Coast and Otago but wouldn’t be completely sealed for another 30 years.
Treble Cone Ski Area opened in 1968 and in 1978 the Cardrona Alpine Resort also opened.
Wanaka proved a very popular tourist destination because of its borderline continental climate and easy access to snow and water.
