The Wanaka area (Maori: Wānaka) in the in Otago region, on South Island of New Zealand, was known until 1940 as Pembroke. The Lake Wānake stands out in the area, to the south of which is the Clutha / Mata-Au River, which is the gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park, and the Crown Range mountains, belonging to the Southern Alps, in the which highlights Mount Cardrona, 1,936 m (6,352 ft). It is an area highly appreciated by skiers, who are concentrated in the resort town of Wanaka, at the southern end of the lake.
