Lake Ohau is in the middle of no where. It is, though, the most sought after ski resort in New Zealand. Also, it is so intensely gorgeous.
As a side note, I no longer have any words different words to describe how stunningly wonderful the sights and scenery is of New Zealand. I do believe everyone should go see it. So, please excuse my repetitious use of gorgeous and beautiful. :)
In the summer time, the ski resort is closed... (it is opening in a month or so for the ski season off NZ). There are water sports offered (we weren't offered any, we got there late in the evening) and hikes available. Or, just sit out in a hot tub and stare at a crystal blue lake, with mountains, glaciers and gorgeous sky.
As this was the last official night of the tour, there was a party thrown... It was a toga party, and it was fun. Because the lodge we stayed at is built for the younger adults, there was a lot of areas to lounge around, and I found myself in another set of great conversations on bean bag chairs. I also was able to enjoy an almost full moon, and the countless stars in the night sky.
The morning came to quickly, and we were all up by 7, packing the bus, and making our way to Christchurch for the 2pm drop off and ultimate end of the New Zealand tour.
