Wanaka has some unique attractions to visit in between the action packed outdoor activities on offer. One of the most unusual is Stuart Landsborough’s Puzzling World. If you are on holiday with the kids they will love getting lost in the maze and the illusions and holograms on show. Make sure to visit the toilets while you are there for an unusual view of the world. Take in a movie at the tiny movie theatre of Cinema Paradiso and go back to a time where going to the movies was an event in itself. Enjoy homemade ice cream and warm cookies as you watch the entertainment from your quirky sofa. Meet the owners and find out the history of this exclusive treasure.

There is a good choice of dining options from fine dining on the waterfront to inexpensive takeaways and many venues have stunning views of the lake and mountains beyond.
