The Albert Town Lodge is 100m from the banks of the Clutha river. The Clutha is the largest volume river in New Zealand. The Hawea river flows into the Clutha just downstream from the Lodge opposite where the Cardrona river joins the Clutha.
Walking/Mountain Biking

Kayaking/Fishing
From Lake Wanaka, the Clutha river is a Grade 1 kayaking run and is very popular. The Hawea river also has some very good kayaking. Both the Clutha and Hawea rivers have world class fishing.
Tramping/Climbing
Wanaka is the gateway to Mt Aspiring National park where tramping tracks and popular alpine peaks. On the way to the national park there is a popular rock climbing area.
Downhill Skiing/Snow Boarding, XCountry Skiing
In winter the focus is the ski season and there is close access to Treble Cone ski area, Cardrona ski area, the Snow Farm Nordic ski area and the Snow Park for the snowboarders.
So there is no shortage of activities to fill in the day. We may even be able to help with forward planning for some activities if that is sought.
In the unlikely event of inclement weather the Lodge is sufficiently spacious to while away the day until things improve. In the winter a huge log burner glows in the corner whilst in spring & summer the sliding doors open on to lawns and the barbeques.
