Crown Range

The Crown Range Road between Wanaka and Lake Hayes near Queenstown is New Zealand's highest sealed road and passes through some wonderful scenery. At the southern end there are view points giving spectacular panoramas of the Wakatipu basin and valley towards Queenstown and overlooking Arrowtown. About half way, on the Wanaka side, is the Cardrona Pub, a classic icon of life in New Zealand's South Island.
