Lake Ōhau Must Do's

Lake Ōhau

A beautiful lake for fishing, with a handful of holiday homes and very little development, it’s rarely visited by the masses. Discover bike trails, pebble beaches and dozens of walking paths.

Lake Ōhau Village

Enjoying an idyllic setting against snow-capped mountains and a royal blue lake, summer is ideal for water sports and camping, while winter revs up a busy ski season.

Ōhau Ski fields

It’s not the largest ski field in Aotearoa, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in exceptional staff and stunning scenery – the views across Lake Ōhau are exceptional.
