My fishing guide turned me on to Wanaka. Apparently it’s what QT was before all the tourists and outdoor enthusiasts arrived and drove prices up. Well, I still like the buzz of QT but this is a nice place and definitely a place to check out when I return. Hard to beat the location. Situated on the road to the West Coast a good place to hang out a few days Besides they have that cool dinosaur playground which reminds me of mission valley circa 1960.
