Workation in Wanaka: the essentials
Wānaka's population tripled between 2000 and 2020, a sign of how many people want to live in this landscape. The resort town sits at the southern end of Lake Wānaka, where the Clutha River begins, with Mount Aspiring National Park beyond it and the Cardrona and Treble Cone ski fields close by. Roys Peak is the hike everyone does. It is quieter and more residential than Queenstown, but holiday homes dominate and rentals vanish in winter and over Christmas. The nearest major airport is Queenstown, about 50 km in a straight line over the Crown Range.
