Hotels near Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown

There’s no end of exploration to be done in and around Lake Wakatipu – not least an icy but invigorating dip in its crystal-clear waters. Above the surface, jet skis and wakeboards provide an exhilarating alternative to kayaking or sailing. For true thrill-seekers, Hydro Attack takes you zipping across the lake at a heart-thumping 80 km an hour in a streamlined shark-shaped vessel!
