Do you know what’s the most famous tree in New Zealand?
Wanaka Tree, a willow tree at the southern tip of Lake Wanaka, appears semi-submerged in the water and is a massively popular Instagram spot. With its small-town friendliness and incredible lake and alpine features, Wanaka has become a much-loved getaway for those needing a breather from its dynamic cousin, Queenstown.
Walking along the lake to find the lone tree is a beautiful sight. It’s the perfect plae to sit and ponder life. In winter, Wanaka is the ideal base for skiers, as the town is en route to some of the South Island’s premier resorts; summertime offers plenty of water-based activities for those wanting to admire the expansive lake that gives the town its name.
🚘The town is about an hour’s drive from Queenstown, and makes for a great escape from the relatively crowded shores of Lake Wakatipu.
