Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Wanaka

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Wanaka, New Zealand?

    A week in Wanaka allows for a good mix of activities. You could spend a day exploring the town itself, visiting the Wanaka Tree, Puzzling World, and enjoying the lakefront. Another day could be dedicated to hiking – Roy's Peak Track offers stunning views, but it's a challenging hike, so consider less strenuous options like the Diamond Lake Track if you prefer. Allocate a day for a trip to nearby Queenstown, easily accessible by car or bus. Consider a day trip to Haast Pass for its dramatic scenery and waterfalls, or explore the Mount Aspiring National Park. Leave time for relaxing by Lake Wanaka, perhaps with a kayak or paddleboard rental. Finally, a visit to the local farmers' market is a must for experiencing local produce.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Wanaka?

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Wanaka, New Zealand?

    A month gives you ample time for a deeper exploration. In addition to the week-long itinerary, you could dedicate several days to exploring Mount Aspiring National Park, perhaps with multi-day hikes or a guided tour. Consider visiting less-visited areas like the West Matukituki Valley. You could take a scenic flight over the Southern Alps for breathtaking views. Spend more time on water activities – perhaps try fishing, or even a multi-day kayaking trip. Explore the surrounding smaller towns like Arrowtown and Cromwell. With more time, you can also participate in longer, more challenging hikes and undertake more ambitious outdoor pursuits.

    Yes, absolutely! Wanaka experiences vibrant autumn colours typically from late March to early May, with stunning displays of reds, oranges, and golds in the surrounding hills and forests. Cherry blossom season is usually in October and November, though the exact timing varies slightly each year. The best viewing spots for both are along the lakefront and in the many orchards surrounding the town.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Wanaka?

    Visiting the local farmers' market is a great way to meet locals and sample regional produce. Chatting with staff at local businesses like cafes and shops provides opportunities for informal interactions. Consider attending a community event if one is scheduled during your visit. Participating in a guided hike or outdoor activity with a local operator can lead to interesting conversations. Wanaka's culture is strongly tied to its outdoor lifestyle, so engaging in activities like hiking or watersports will naturally expose you to this aspect of the community.

These are often advertised locally, so it's worth keeping an eye out for them.
  • What are some secret spots or hidden treasures to visit in Wanaka, New Zealand?

    While many spots are well-known, some lesser-visited gems include the various walking tracks around the lake, less crowded than the popular Roy's Peak track. Explore the quieter bays along Lake Wanaka, such as Glendhu Bay. Take a drive along the Cardrona Bra Fence, a quirky roadside attraction. The Mount Iron Scenic Reserve offers panoramic views with a less challenging hike than Roy's Peak.
  • What should not be left out of your suitcase if you are going to Wanaka, New Zealand?

    Pack for all types of weather! Wanaka's weather can be unpredictable. Include layers of clothing, including waterproof and windproof outerwear. Sturdy walking shoes are essential for exploring the many hiking trails. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are vital, even on cloudy days. Don't forget insect repellent, especially if you plan on hiking.
  • What are the most popular festivals in Wanaka, New Zealand?

    Wanaka doesn't have large, internationally renowned festivals in the same way some larger cities do. However, it hosts smaller, local events throughout the year. The Wanaka A&P Show is a popular agricultural show. Check local event listings closer to your travel dates for smaller community events and celebrations.
