The western and northern areas of Lake Wakatipu, away from the busy centre of Queenstown.

Lake Wakatipu
Moke Lake
Moke Lake, not too far up behind Queenstown. It’s a peaceful and quiet spot, where you can enjoy lovely views of the surrounding hills. As the afternoon moves on, the sun rays dance across the slopes, giving nice patterns of light and dark.
Piha Beach
Low tide at South Piha means you can walk out to The Gap by Nun Rock. The gap in the rocks means torrents of water rapidly surge through with incoming waves, then drain away again as they ebb.
Bay of Islands
Sunrise from Paihia, in the Bay of Islands.
Mangawhai Heads
It’s nice to get away for the weekend and enjoy a quick road trip. I’ve visited Mangawhai Heads before, but the last couple of times it’s been rather cold and dreary. This time it was lovely!
Queenstown
I seem to spend a bit of time in Queenstown for work. Sometimes the weather isn’t very pleasant, other days it’s quite peaceful, and you get treated to nice sunset colours.
