FAMOUS WILLOW TREE IN LAKE WANAKA.
A willow tree stands in the middle of beautiful crystal blue Lake Wanaka which is famous and always photographed. There are some great restaurants and cafes in Wanaka and it's a nice little town.

Lovely location and great restaurants.
Well worth a visit to Wanaka. Less commercial than Queenstown but just as beautiful. Some great restaurants, try the Bombay Palace. Great food and wonderful views.

Stunning
This place is stunning, if you can get a carpark (and thats with our borders semi closed!) Great range of food and beveridge options line the otherside of the street it was easy to get a bite to eat and it enjoy it lakeside while watching all the water adventures.
