The beautiful Lake Wanaka is New Zealand’s 4th largest lake, covering a total area of 74 sq miles. It’s estimated to be over 980 feet deep. The lake lies nestled amidst gorgeous mountain range. The Wanaka town and Lake Wanaka are about an hour’s drive away from Queenstown. Ski resorts the likes of the Oaks Club can be found plenty here as, during wintertime, Wanaka turns into a snow lover’s paradise!
