Over in Wanaka, you can spend the night at the Edgewater Resort, this location is amazingly beautiful, with a spacious yard that stretches right to the water’s edge of Lake Wanaka, Edgewater is located between the southern Alps on the South Island of New Zealand.

One activity that is very popular with locals and foreigners alike in Wanaka are biking, for mountain bike lovers, Wanaka is a great place, I tried biking to circumnavigate Lake Wanaka. Clean air and beautiful scenery accompany my activities in the afternoon.

Lake Wanaka is famous for its icon in the form of a tree at the center of the lake, every photographer and tourists who visit Lake Wanaka, certainly have to take a picture or photograph the unique tree.

One more not less interesting, we had the opportunity to have an adventure off road with four wheel drive along 4WD- Ridgeline Adventures. They can take us into private places inaccessible by careless people, making sure that we can enjoy stunning views from the highest point in the mountains of the Wanaka area.

If you’ve been watching the blockbuster movie “Lords of the Ring”, most of the scenes created in the mountainous region in Wanaka.
