Wānaka is a town perfectly positioned. We have the golden rugged landscapes of Central Otago in one direction, the ridges of the Southern Alps in another, and two big blue lakes, Wānaka and Hāwea, in between. It s so easy for us to get into the outdoors - biking, swimming, climbing, playing in the snow – we sometimes forget these are the kinds of things people travel across the country, or across the world, to do. I have never lived anywhere more beautiful, and I ve lived in a lot of sweet places.
