Message from Rach Stewart

Lake Poaka is an picturesque, alpine lake located near the small town of Twizel in New Zealand’s South Island that reflects the Ben Ohau range perfectly on a calm day. It is a beautiful spot for sunrise and you can also camp by the lake as it is a Freedom Camping Spot.

If you head there in winter you might be lucky enough to encounter a Hoar Frost where the trees and ground freeze creating a magical winter wonderland.
