Description

Wanaka is a town in the Central Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is situated at the southern end of Lake Wanaka, adjacent to the outflow of the lake to the Clutha River. It is the gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park. The town is experiencing considerable growth. According to the 2006 census (provisional results) the permanent resident population is 6900, an increase of approximately 50% in five years. The town is part of the Queenstown-Lakes District and was called Pembroke until 1940. It was originally settled during the gold rush excitement in the 19th century. These days, with its beautiful lake and mountain views, Wanaka has become a popular tourist resort, loved by many for being less commercialised than Queenstown. Description courtesy of Wikipedia

Absolutely, the best bar i've been to in Wanaka is BARLUGA in Post Office Lane. A beautiful lounge bar, groovy music and fantastic service... and the HUGE fire doesn't hurt either!
