Wanaka is an enchanting holiday destination, set on the southern side of Wanaka Lake. Miharo Wanaka Retreat is in a newly developed part of Wanaka, just 5 minutes’ drive from Wanaka town centre. Wanaka provides a wealth of cafes and restaurants, from fine dining to delicious pub food. For a spot of retail therapy there are several boutique stores and plenty of places for food shopping.

The lake’s backdrop is picture-perfect with stunning mountains framed by beautiful trees. Walks along the foreshore are a must. Water activities on offer include paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and boating. Take a lake cruise or a scenic helicopter flight, try your hand at heli-skiing or perhaps a jet boat ride up the mighty Clutha River.

For the adventurous and more active, a walk to Rob Roy Glacier in the stunning Mt Aspiring National Park or a scenic mountain bike ride might appeal. To entertain the children a visit to Dingleburn Safari and Puzzling World with its maze and illusion room could be on the cards. Wanaka`s 2 quirky unique movie theatres are worth a visit too.

Lakefront picnics, or lunch and a tour of the local vineyards should all be on your list and in winter, hit the slopes just a short drive away at the local ski fields: Cardrona, Treble Cone or the Snow Farm. Wanaka`s airport is 9km away and Queenstown`s airport is only an hour’s drive via the stunning Crown Range. Queenstown also offers a vast array of bars, eateries, shops, vineyards and other activities.

With so much on offer, and such a wonderful property in which to base yourself, this is bound to be a holiday to remember!
