Ashburton Lakes (Hakatere Conservation Park)

#summervacay The Ashburton Lakes region, part of Hakatere Conservation Park, is a pristine summer destination often overlooked by mainstream tourists. Located inland from Methven, the area features a series of glacial lakes surrounded by tussock grasslands and mountain ranges. In summer, the lakes offer excellent fishing, kayaking, and swimming in complete tranquility. Walking and biking trails take you through stunning alpine landscapes with barely another soul in sight. The isolation and untouched beauty make it a perfect getaway for campers, photographers, and nature lovers wanting to disconnect and recharge.
