Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
4.5/5
A nice hike up to a waterfall.
You have to hike up 130m before you get there, but it won't take more than 30 minutes. The waterfall was nice.

Rum Currie's Hut
4.0/5
A campsite down by the river and it was for free.
Toilet smelled. You could make a fire there and eat free fruit from the trees. It was pretty crowded with young people but fine and for free!

Britz Campervans
4.5/5
Campervan is in good condition with gas, microwave, sink, waste water tank, not self-contained.
Handling is tops, even with wind - despite height of camper (3M). Full cooking equipment onboard. Perhaps a bit too small for 4 people but perfect for 3 people.

Lake McGregor
4.0/5
It was a camping ground run by the local community.
It had a toilet and a sink for dishes. No running water though. A little hard to get there since the streets were not in great shape. Good for a night or two.

The Helicopter Line Mount / Mt Cook
4.5/5
We did a 40 minute 'Mountain Scenic Spectacular!' flight and it was amazing.
We enjoyed every minute of it. It was beautiful to see Franz Josef and Fox Glacier from above. Did a snow landing in front of Mt Cook. Priceless!

Lake Sylvan Track
5.0/5
It was a nice and easy walk to Lake Sylvan.
You had to go through the forest before you got to the lake. We had nice weather and the lookout was beautiful. Was recommended by a friend.

Lake Wanaka isite Visitor Information Centre

A really, really friendly lady helped us with all our questions and gave us some possibilities for a 1/2 to 1 day hiking tours.
My friend booked in for a skydive right away. Great service.

Dart Stables
4.5/5
I did two rides in one day.
I am an experienced rider. My first ride was along the Dart River up to Mt Albert with some river crossings. The second one was up at Paradise. Staff and horses are really good. Horses can be used for beginners as well.

Motueka isite Visitor Information Centre
4.5/5
The first girl could not really help us.
We asked her what we could do at the Abel Tasman, what she could recommend. She did not really know what to say. We tried it at another lady and she was great!

A beautiful but exhausting walk with an amazing view over the mountains and Lake Wanaka.
bring enough water and food for the whole track (especially recommended on a hot and sunny day).

Omarama TOP 10 Holiday Park
3.5/5
It was pretty late and we did not know where else to go.
$57 for a powered site and three people. The bathroom was fine and it had a kitchen and TV room - also fine.

Rob Roy Track
4.5/5
It was a little hard getting there with a campervan since 30km of it was unsealed road with a lot of holes and fords.
The walk itself was really beautiful and doable, even if you are not the fittest person.

Vertigo Bikes
5.0/5
I hired a full suspension bike from Vertigo in Queenstown and cycled the Moonlight track which is a track for advanced cyclists but in a very nice valley near Queenstown.
