Holidays in Makarora

When you see totally gorgeous vistas on every TV channel, it's hard not to get jelly. So why not spoil yourself with a getaway in Makarora and experience the postcard-perfect beaches of Otago?

It's situated 560 kilometres southwest of the country's capital, Wellington.

Fancy a little beach therapy? Taste the salty sea spray on your lips as you close your eyes and tune into the comforting sounds of the ocean at Queenstown Beach. It's the best kind of medicine around!

Mother Nature's handiwork is on display in numerous places around Makarora. Just 45 kilometres away, Lake Wanaka is a terrific place to start. Lake Hawea sits 30 kilometres away and is another ideal spot to find some peace and quiet.

Nothing beats racing out of bed and carving up the slopes at Coronet Peak Ski Area. Once you've ticked off all the runs there, pack up your skis and check out what's on offer at Treble Cone.

Minaret Bay is 19 kilometres to the southwest and worth your time. Want some more ideas? Lake Hawea, 35 kilometres to the south of Makarora, should be your next stop.

Go on a day trip and see what's on offer in Wanaka. This destination is 40 kilometres to the south and close to the Rippon Vineyard, the Puzzling World and Basecamp Wanaka Climbing Centre. That said, you shouldn't forget about the Wanaka Golf Club and the Gallery Thirty Three either.

You won't find a better way to experience the local landscapes than on a stimulating adventure. Sign up for some ice skating or mountain biking and get your heart pumping!

If the kids have had their fill of sightseeing, why not enjoy a change of pace by going cycling or shore fishing?

Parasailing will take you to dizzying new heights. Conquer your fears and head for the clouds for the time of your life!

It might be time to leave and head home, but it doesn't have to be forever. Why not save your remaining New Zealand dollars for another holiday to this stunning region?

With a little preparation, making it to Christchurch International Airport (CHC), the nearest airport, shouldn't be too difficult. It's approximately 280 kilometres to the east of downtown Makarora.

"It was interesting to experience the culture of the area through a stay in the "bush." We knew the stay would be more rustic than many of our accommodations. Some areas were a bit more rustic than we had planned... but the back porch, view and birds were a big plus."

Great location, rustic accommodations
"We loved this location, a few minutes' walk to the wonderful Makarora river braidplain. The house is unique: rustic and a little run down. Comfortable enough if you aren't expecting luxury. Some things could use a little updating (i.e. floors and bath fittings) but all this is secondary to the stunning ..."
