The tranquil lakeside of Wanaka Roy Bay.

At Wanaka's Roys Bay, I saw a lake with distant mountains, clear water, and sunshine shining down on it, and tourists resting and playing in the water under the shade of trees. I felt like I had arrived in paradise. Seagulls, ducks, and people swam together in the water, while on the beach, people enjoyed the bliss of idleness. Everything was so comfortable and pleasant. On the way from Queenstown to Mount Cook, Wanaka is a place where you can stay for a day if time permits. In addition to enjoying the tranquility at Roy's Bay, you can also visit the nearby popular attraction, Lonely Tree, or spend half a day at Puzzling World with your children. For those who want to hike and enjoy the scenery, you can take a short one-hour hike at Mount Iron.
