What a Fantastic Easter!
Busy would put it mildly, but Easter weekend was just great with such a mix of people staying. We had several couples/families interested in the Wanaka Airshow. Many were pilots and some just had an interest in aviation. We had overseas hunters staying as well, searching for a red stag trophy organised by a local outfitter. All up, our visitors were from Christchurch, Auckland, Hong Kong and Chicago and there was a lot of chatter at the dinner table on Saturday night putting with so much to be talked about from the days events. We feel very privileged to have had you all and thank you for staying with us.
Over the weekend other visitors to the Lodge were very interested in a track to the top of the ridge where you can view both Lakes Hawea and Wanaka. Without much time to discuss it, Peter had us off on a 4 wheel drive trip to the top of the mountain via a track on a local sheep station where Peter works. It was spectacular!! The photos here were taken looking to the top of Lake Hawea and Hunter Valley Station and to the south of Lake Wanaka.
Our dear Chase is now living in Arrowtown with our son and hopefully he will just holiday with US instead of the other way round! He has certainly been a hit with all our visitors though.
The beautiful autumn has been a perfect time to enjoy the lodge and all that Wanaka has to offer. The trees are turning and are magnificent in their vibrant gold and red colours. You really should come and see for yourselves. You might find yourselves at the top looking at these awesome views too! posted by Maungawera Lodge # 11:43 PM
