If you haven’t been in Wanaka recently you don’t know what you’re missing out on. The weather has been fantastic; very little wind and heaps of blue sky and sunshine.

The warm temperatures have had us swimming in the pool most days. The poolside temperature mid day today was 31 degrees. Great!

The weather was definitely one of the positives when we decided we wanted to move here. Peter and I have now been Wanaka residents for 8 months having moved here early in April. We have no regrets living here; in fact it’s a privilege to wake up to gorgeous scenery and think “this is where I live”. We have met many people and a lot of them are reasonably new residents to the area as well. We have enjoyed having each and every one of our guests; from those who have only been here a night like the Danish visitors last night and the two families from near Brisbane, Australia also here last night to our American guests who stayed 3 weeks in the autumn! Thank you to you all for the wonderful comments you have made about the Lodge and your time spent with us.

With the summer season nearly upon us, we look forward to meeting many more new faces over the next few months.
