Introduction

Ō Tū Wharekai is nestled amongst high-country tussocklands and set against the towering Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o Te Moana. It is one of the best examples of an inter-montane wetland system in New Zealand.

The lakes and surrounding area provide opportunities for wind surfing, sailing, bird watching, kayaking, fishing and swimming as well as hunting, mountain biking and walking.
