New Zealand Trip 2022 Day 8 Part 2 ~ Dune Lake Walk, Roaring Billy Falls, Thunder Creek Falls, Gates of Haast, Fantail Falls, Blue Pools, Archway Motels & Chalets
As we embarked the long drive to Wanaka, we had initially wanted to visit the Monro Beach Walk. But it was raining quite heavily then and we saw reviews of the place being a sandfly trap. After getting bitten few times, we decided not to go and continue the way.
We stopped by the Dune Lake Walk instead.
The sky was so gloomy :(
Still raining, so poncho!
Our next walk - to the falls!
Was expecting the falls to be magnificent and loud but actually not so lol.
But the water is so clear and turquoise.
Still so cloudy :(
Another falls.
Stopped by the Gates of Haast
This was fierce.
Fantail Falls - a really short walk from car park.
The famous Blue Pools.
Supposedly famous and many people would take a dip here. But guess it was all quiet as it had been raining the whole day.
Driving all the way down to Wanaka and stopping by for some photos of Lake Wanaka and Hawae first.
Reached the town centre. Unfortunately, we arrived too late at 8:30pm and all kitchen were closed. We were given the suggestion to try our luck at the Chinese restaurant but I decided not to.
We dropped by the Four Square and got some ready food at heat up in the motel. Thankfully, we have a kitchenette.
Archway Motels & Chalets
Extra bedroom.
The food wasn't nice but we had some instant noodles with us so we tide through the night! Lesson learnt was not to arrive too late for dinner in other towns except Queenstown lol.
