Lake Brunner, Lake Poerua & surrounding area is magnificent, so restful & tranquil. Great views & Fantastic fishing area of brown & rainbow Trout , boating, great walks & tramping. A lovely Quiet town, with café , Restaurant & Bar & accommodation . You can travel by car, buss or train . It is 2.5hr drive on SH73 from Christchurch with great signage to direct you along the way , it is also 37km from Greymouth , if you are going over to the Coast you can go via Moana , it is nice to do the round trip. ( It is also 44min from Arthurs Pass ) It sure is a great place to visit for a few hours or stay. Would Highly Recommend.

The Tree Top walk was very interesting as you get to overlook the enormous trees. There is also some good wildlife about. A great place for photography.

Large, relatively undisturbed wetlands with magnificent sea and alpine views, full of birdlife. For the energetic it's close to some real altitude (e.g. at Franz Joseph), a wild coast and interesting bush.

A lovely example of the reflective qualities of some of New Zealand's lakes. Breath taking scenery and crystal like waters. Looked like a fantastic day for the Kayaks we saw leaving the jetty. Next time through we will head out on one of the cruises available. A bit constrained for time today, but this looks like the perfect spot to cruise on! If you can, plan ahead and make the time.

Lake Ellery Walk, 1-2 hour return 3km. A pleasant walk through beech forest to a glacier formed lake. The track meanders alongside the slow moving Ellery Stream ending at a picnic table with a fantastic view of the lake. Check the current track conditions and weather forecasts at the Department of Conservation, Haast, Awarua Visitor Centre before starting your trip. •Always take warm and waterproof clothing as the weather can change rapidly. •Carry drinking water, insect repellent and sun protection at all times

Recommended by the motel owner, we went to Lake Ellery. The track was well formed, very easy walk. The lake was beautiful with reflections of trees. We had a lovely time there.
