I found your article on the first page of google, just in the middle of the classic trip advisor and 100pureNZ search results. I am happy I went for yours. The photo location advise is a great idea!

In reply to Sally. Lucky you! It is indeed a cool little place. Definitely a destination in its own and so different than Queenstown. But almost everywhere you go in NZ it is beautiful :)

In reply to Daphne. Yes, I've been very lucky that I was able to hike up in different seasons. Winter definitely ads something special to it! I agree with you that it is more beautiful, looks a bit like a fairytale. Don't forget to dress very warm though :)

This looks like such a gorgeous hike – especially at sunrise! Roy’s Peak is definitely going on my list for whenever I finally make it out to NZ 🙂

What an amazing views!!! Nice that you had the chance to climb the Roys Peak multiple times, so you could enjoy the different seasons. I think I would prefer to hike when there is snow, so less people, and more beautiful! Thanks for sharing all the useful tips!

What’s not to love about Wanaka hey! I have a friend that lives in Wanaka so have had the opportunity to visit there a couple of times. So close to Queenstown but still a destination in its own right. I love the drive from Christchurch to Wanaka, the scenery is out of this world. Oh and don’t forget the most photogenic tree in the world!

In reply to Jenny W.

Hi Jenny, Cool you’re doing Roys Peak! It is not a particularly difficult hike, but you definitely need to check the snow conditions, as it might get tricky/dangerous if there is a lot of snow. Good idea to do the sunrise hike in winter, as sunrise is way later than in summer
. You can sleep a few hours longer than I did 🙂 Have fun!
