Being built in the junction between two rivers, the town is rich in natural beauty and is surrounded by picturesque hills all around.

You can also visit Wakatipu Lake, which is just an hour’s drive away, in Queensland. There are plenty of cycling and hiking paths you can also take if you are more adventurous.
