    Kai Whakapai

    Posted by emmam 13 March 2006

    Really great food and the best milkshakes in New Zealand.
    The wine bar upstairs is the best place in Wanaka for a few glasses of good wine, chat and relaxation.

    Perfect location overlooking lake Wanaka. Friendly helpful staff, clean and very comfortable. Films shown nightly in the large sitting room.

    Wanaka

    Posted by emmam 8 February 2006

    Wanaka, an hours drive north, was too much. Stories of less backpackers, chilled cafes and a very cool cinema, ‘Cinema Paradiso’, sounded just what the doctor ordered. There’s plenty to do even if you aren’t there to ski or board. Accommodation, as with everywhere in NZ, is affordable and comfortable. I’d recommend Puzzle World, the shooting range/mini golf; the airport, where you can parachute or go on a Red Bull stunt plane, or just watch others do crazy stuff. There are stables for horse trekking, which is a brilliant way to spend a day and really see the countryside. A paraglide from Treble Cone, the highest NZ is as close to perfection as you can get. For lazy days the many walks around Lake Wanaka are a must and the cinema... with great food, cool films, couches and an old car for seats is a unique way to spend an evening.
