Cromwell and Wanaka

Parked up at Lowburn 

We spent 3 nights freedom camping beside Lake Dunstan at Lowburn. From there, it was roughly 5km north to Pisa Moorings, or the same distance south to Old Cromwell town on the new cycle way.

Near Pisa Moorings

So we headed up to Pisa Moorings one day, and into Cromwell the next.

Heading back to Lowburn from Cromwell 

The cycle track is great, easy to ride on with no tricky bits. It passes under the bridge, so no need to cross the busy road into Cromwell. As it was Queen’s Birthday there were plenty of people about, even in the rather chilly weather.

Lunch by the lake

On Monday we drove up to Wanaka for coffee, and then made ourselves lunch by the lake. By then most people had left town.


There was a steady stream coming towards us while we were travelling, but still enough remained to give the town a good vibe. It seems all of New Zealand made the most of the long weekend to travel after being locked down for Easter and the school holidays.
