#ThatWanakaTree

viewpoint scenic

The lone willow standing in Lake Wānaka — NZ’s most photographed tree.

Why go

A quirky, quintessentially Wānaka photo stop — and the lakefront walk around it is lovely regardless.

#ThatWanakaTree is a lone crack willow growing right out of the water near the Wānaka lakefront — improbably, the most photographed tree in New Zealand. It's a two-minute walk from the town's edge and a magnet for sunrise and sunset photographers, with the Southern Alps behind.
