Luxury holidays in Wanaka

When to go

It’s warmest in January and February, when average highs hover around 15°C; July is the coldest month, with highs of only 8°C and only seven hours of sunshine. In autumn (March through May), expect cooler mornings and nights, but warm days; it’s the best time to visit for active outdoor adventures and scenic flights.

Getting there

  Direct flights from across New Zealand and Australia land at Queenstown Airport, which is 90 minutes away by car.
