A fairly steady uphill walk of anywhere between 1.5-3 hrs to the top - (a bit quicker down again on same track) depending on speed and fitness level. Stunning views all the way up, then around the peak. Make sure you get there early enough to see the Sunrise! Definitely a must do before the heat of the day in summer, and also before the carpark overflows! Take water, hat, good non slipping shoes and sunscreen!

Great atmosphere, large screen TV for watching live rugby games. Fabulous food and very social. Need to book if a larger group, otherwise table sharing is fun when busy!

Heard about the Edgewater resort scones? A must with coffee after your morning walk along the lakeside track to/from Raspberry creek. Only 5 mins walk from your accommodation. Head either left down Sargood on road, or right down Norman Tce, through park, head left along track until you see signs for Edgewater Resort. Sit outside with stunning views over Lake and mountain vistas.

A local iconic building with a great atmosphere. In summer sit out in the beer garden, in winter keep cozy inside by the fires. Situated near the Cardrona ski area about 30 mins drive from Wanaka township. A great stop off going to or from Queenstown.
