Travel & Accomodation

Travel:
For those of you who are flying in, the closest airport is Queenstown Airport (ZQN). From there, it’s a beautiful 1-hour drive to Wanaka over the Crown Range or about 1 hour 20 minutes via the more gentle route through Cromwell. Either way, the scenery is stunning, so take your time and enjoy the ride.
The Rippon Hall is located just a few minutes’ drive from central Wanaka, perched on a hill overlooking the lake and vineyards. It’s easy to get to from town by car or taxi.
Accommodation:
Wanaka has plenty of accommodation options to suit all styles and budgets, from luxury lakeside lodges to cosy motels, apartments, Airbnbs, and charming boutique stays. We recommend booking early, as Wanaka is a popular destination, especially in March.
Here’s a list of accommodations personally recommended by the venue. Be sure to also check out airbnb.co.nz, booking.com and bachcare.co.nz for alternative options.
