Lake Rotoroa

Lake Rotoroa sits in the midst of what might truly be described as one of the ultimate locations in the world, situated 1 hour 30 minutes from Nelson or Blenheim, 5 hours from Christchurch, and 2 hours from Westport.

Far from the maddening crowd, this isolated and unspoiled location is surrounded by the forests of the Nelson Lakes National Park.

The lake has introduced trout, which attract recreational fishermen.

Special Features
*Braeburn Walk - Time: 2 hr return - From Braeburn Road, follow this well-graded track through forest rich in birdlife to a picturesque waterfall. See the kotukutuku, the world's largest tree fuschia, unique to New Zealand. A track follows the northeast side of the lake and a water taxi travels the length of the lake to ferry trampers to and from the tracks at the head of the lake.
