Wilson Bay is a beautiful recreation reserve. It's great for a picnic or rest. Walk a little further and you'll have a small beach all to yourself. The views are not too bad either.

With a snowy mountain backdrop and clear frosty water, Wilson Bay in Lake Wakatipu is the ideal spot for photographers to snap happily away for hours! There is a small hiking trail, picnic area and friendly ducks if the views aren't enough...but who are we kidding, they're incredible! #newzealand #travel #photography #underwater
