Lake Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand – Share in the Secret

Wanaka is still a well kept secret!  While all the tourist buses head to the large international style resort of Queenstown, locals and visitors 'in the know' stay in Wanaka.

Lonely Planet Travel Guides describe Wanaka as 'a sporty laid back town which offers a sharp contrast to the hype of Queenstown'.  Only an hour’s drive from Queenstown, Wanaka is a great alternative if you prefer a smaller "village' atmosphere.

What is the Wanaka Collection?

We are a select group of accommodation and activity operators in Wanaka, New Zealand who have been working together for many years to share the secrets of Wanaka’s lake, rivers, snow capped mountains and breathtaking Mt Aspiring National Park with visitors from all over the world.

As a network of Wanaka activity operators (jet boating, helicopter sightseeing, lake cruising, fishing, guided hiking and exclusive transport service to ) and 4, 4+, 5 star bed & breakfast small hotels and hosted accommodation we are a one-stop shop for a short or long stay in Wanaka.

Who are we?

The Wanaka Collection is a group of New Zealanders who have lived and worked in Wanaka and in tourism for many years. Our group is all operator owned.  The person guiding you or serving you breakfast will be the business owner!    We have homes here and our children go to school here.  You are mixing with the 'locals' when you choose to stay or join us for a trip.

Want to know more….?

Aside from our individual experience and knowledge of Wanaka, working together we can also offer you some fantastic value accommodation and activity packages.

So spend some time on our website and feel free to contact us with any of your questions.  We’d love to share the 'secrets of Wanaka' with you!
