Description

Say “Cuh-hoon”. The hike to Colquhouns Beach (near Wanaka on the South Island of New Zealand) is along the Minaret Burn Track which brings you along Lake Wanaka's less explored west side and rewards you with beautiful lake and mountain views the whole way. The trail follows a 4WD track that gently undulates alongside the lake. It's an access road for the station owners, but we saw no humans or vehicles and only had some interesting encounters with cows along the way. After several hours we came to Colquhouns Beach with a beautiful view of Mou Waho island (center). It’s a long beach with little lapping waves and cool water to sooth your hot feet after the hike. All the info for this hike says that the beach makes a perfect picnic and/or swimming destination. However, unless you are juiced up with bug repellent, it’s a miserable stop! I have the welts to prove it.
