π Local Lens - Lake Hayes π
Just a short drive from Queenstown sits one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in the entire region and honestly it deserves way more attention! πΏβ¨
Here's what to do when you visit:
πΆ Lake Hayes Walkway - A stunning 8km loop around the lake with picture perfect views at every single turn. Perfect for a morning walk or an afternoon escape from the busyness of town!
π£ Fishing - Lake Hayes is one of the most popular fishing spots in Central Otago. Pack your rod, find a quiet spot on the bank and enjoy the kind of peace and quiet that Queenstown town centre just can't offer!
π· Amisfield Winery - Just minutes from the lake sits the iconic Amisfield Winery, world class Central Otago Pinot Noir, stunning grounds and a restaurant that will genuinely blow you away!
πΈ Photography - Honestly, just bring your camera. The reflections of the Remarkables on the lake at golden hour are something you will never forget! π
A hidden gem right on our doorstep, we love Lake Hayes! π
