Wanaka Travel Blogs - Page 3

One of the best years of my life; I met so many fantastic people and drove around an amazing country! I can't wait to go back one day.

July 1st;From Queenstown to wanaka, we stay at the wicked holiday park where we stayed before with a hottub, watched million dollar baby (why did no-one tell me how that ends! depressing) drive up the remarkables for fantastic views and crap skiing July 2nd- Drove from Wanaka to Haast, almost r…

We really love Wanaka!  We chose to stop at Wanaka instead of Queenstown (where all the "adrenaline sports" fanatics go!) and we were not sorry.  On the way into town, we went to the fantastic Puzzling World following a tip from one of Jeremy's colleagues (thanks Sue B!) - a giant maze …

An amazing 2 months spent visiting one of the Worlds most scenic, adventurous countries

Wanaka ist nach der Westkueste die naechste Stadt, die wir gesehen und besucht haben. Die Gegend ist beruehmt fuer ihre Seen, weshalb wir (Mo und ich, der Rest hat am Lake Wanaka gechillt) den Diamond Lake Track gemacht haben und uns die Gegend und den See von oben angeschaut haben.

As I mentioned in my previous blog, the busdriver told us that highway 6 is more beautiful than the Great Ocean Road in Australia. So far what I have seen of highway 6 hasn't surpassed the beauty of the Great Ocean Road. However, that has changed today. The Kiwi bus drove us from Franz Josef&n…

Our intention was to continue to Wanaka, but as we came closer, Queenstown drew us in yet again, where we had unfinished business. We set about planning our action packed afternoon, but started off with a big buffet lunch at the top of the Skyline Gondola with beautiful views over the lake. After l…

Hier ein kleines Update für euch. Ich wurde vor 2 Wochen eingeladen nach Neuseeland zu fliegen. Nachbarn, mittlerweile Freunde von uns, gehen dort snowboarden. Fran ist Snowboard Instructor und ich kriege praktisch lessons umsonst. Hammer. Mach mir ja doch schon ein bisschen in die Hose, aber freu…

Me and my friend studied one semester in Auckland,NZ. Although we were really busy with uni and it rained a lot we love NZ ! NZ rocks but Auckland sucks ;) !

Hangover in full force we arrived in Wanaka to stay in a lovely hostel. It was basically a hotel where they had changed one wing so it had two bunk beds in each room and we had tv and en-suite. Wanaka was very beautiful and had a lovely lake. Went for an all you can eat BBQ at a local pub and play…

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits. Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

What better way to relax then enjoying a sunny day in the  wonderful resort town of Wanaka. Kayaking to ruby island is not only great exercise but includes breath taking views of the mountains. Note to self just because the island appears close doesn’t mean it is. Make sure you give your…

Ate breakfast in the cafe downstairs - the Cheeky Monkey Cafe - and then drove to Puzzling World.  It's a series of rooms with various illusions and a giant maze, definitley worth a quick wander round.  Then it was on to Cromwell for a stop at a cafe before continuing to Queenstown. On t…
