Wanaka Tour- Scenic Journey, Spa Treatment & Gourmet Dinner

There are two ways to drive between Queenstown and Wanaka. The Crown Range Road climbs to the summit, where you'll be able to see Frankton, part of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown. On the Wanaka side of the range, the road crosses a plateau of farmland and descends steadily along Cardrona Valley. This is one of the most memorable drives you'll do. Upon arrival, you'll have some free time to explore Wanaka before your spa treatment at the hotel followed by a gourmet dinner with stunning lake views.
