How long have you lived in Wanaka? We moved here in Feb of 2013 from Lake Tahoe/Reno area which is very similar. Lake Tahoe is half in Nevada half […]

Over the last two years we have spend the winter holiday in wonderful Wanaka. These two weeks were truly memorable. The ski slopes were something else. My son enjoyed seeing his father attempt to follow him down the ‘black run’ of Captains Peak. The Wyndham property at Wanaka was amazing. The warm spa bath after a day on the slopes to soothe the tired muscles was just what was needed. There were also a whole lot of activities to do […]

My last trip was primarily for skiing, […]

I’m not usually a fan of cold weather – I find myself constantly repeating the phrase ‘it’s freezing’ during the winter months. It’s quite chilly already here on the Gold Coast, and this year I’ve decided to embrace the cold and find lots of reasons to enjoy the cold.
