The manicured grounds of Wanaka's only truly lakefront hotel could easily be mistaken for a golf course. The rooms and apartments are colourfully furnished, and it's quietly removed from town, with the Glendhu Bay Track passing right by the doors – perfect for strolls to town, Rippon or dawn vigils to that nearby Wanaka Tree.
