Failed to walk the Rob Roy track (lack of enthusiasm and dreadful weather) so we went to Rippon vineyard instead where they make great Pinot Noir and is in stunning gorgeous setting (see left). It also has a golf cross course-you should see this game-it’s mad. http://www.puzzlingworld.co.nz/ and then when it’s raining Puzzle world is more fun than you’d expect.
The drive down Lake Wakatipa is unbelievable gorgeous. Its Scotland times 3.
Tourist information is town is run with military precision and they are very good at what they do. We treated ourselves and booked into the Coronation Lodge/Motel for NZD100 per night and it was only 5 mins from the very centre of town and was really very nice. (We ended up staying 3 nights). Ate at the Lone Star in town. Famous for big portions and they are not joking. Really nice place and do BYO too. Followed by the Red Rock bar (we later learnt this was a bit hit and miss but there was a good guitarist in the first night).
