We found it an spectacular place to live in. Just the surf is missing! You have stunning alpines views around every corner, the air is the freshest and the cristal water of the lake sometimes reflects all the unspoiled beauty.
We wish to had stay more, but our time to in New Zealand is running off. We did hiking to get the best views of Wanaka lake, mountain biking around it, drunk at sunset time and got the best cinema session ever in Cinema Paraiso, where you seat on vintage coaches or even in a 600car (we did it) with a glass of wine and a just baked huge cookie.
