NZWF Wanaka Region V2

Wanaka Region brought to you by NZA Indie Developer: Stéphane Beilliard

About NZWF – Wanaka Airport and Region – South Island, New Zealand

Wanaka Airport (NZWF) serves the Wanaka township located in the Otago region and has commercial scheduled flights operated by Sounds Air.

The airport also hosts the Wings Over Wanaka air show biannually. Wanaka Airport is dedicated to being the home base for Otago high country exploration, with helicopters and light airplanes.

In the region, we have included multiple POIs, huts, and other exciting locations for your adventure around the Lake Wanaka/Lake Hawea area and beyond to Mt Aspiring. For those with our NZA Simulations, the Milford Sound Region, it is only a small hop to the west to explore even further.
