Hampshire Holiday Parks – Glendhu Bay sits on a sheltered, north-facing bay on the western shore of Lake Wānaka, with the mountains towards Mt Aspiring National Park rising beyond it — a sunny, open spot to base yourself, just 15 minutes' drive from Wānaka township.
Launch a boat or a paddleboard straight from the park, and you'll be minutes from Roy's Peak, Bike Glendhu's trails and the Treble Cone ski field.
However you like to holiday — lake-view house, group lodge, cabin, powered site or a simple tent pitch on the waterfront — there's a spot for you here.
Coming from Queenstown? If conditions allow, take the Crown Range Road through Cardrona for one of the South Island's most memorable drives.
Glendhu Bay
Glendhu Bay is Wānaka's only lakefront holiday park, sitting on the shores of Lake Wānaka with the Southern Alps rising across the water. Wake up to the view, take a morning dip and settle in for long, lazy evenings by the lake.
