A weekend in Lake Ferry

✈ ✈ ✈


We went for a little road trip to Lake Ferry for the long-weekend. Here's some activities ideas that we did if you too want to plan a short weekend away.


We stayed at Te Wheke Lakeside Villas which has an amazing view overlooking the lake, however it is quite open for the public to look in, and believe me when I say that people are nosey. But overall it was a really nice stay and I am happy that we had the chance to experience it.



The first day we left Wellington and headed for Lake Ferry. We made a few stops on the way just for the fun of it.


Our first stop was at Birchville Dam:




Next was at the Twin Lakes Lookout over the Stuart Macaskill Lakes:



Then we stopped in the small town of Featherstone for lunch but most things were closed except for Baker which had really good cafe style food. I would definitely recommend theiCinnamon Rolls/Buns too!




Then our last stop before reaching Lake Ferry was at the Wairarapa Lake Shore Scenic lookout:



 Day 2 we went the look at the Pinnacles:





And then we climbed about 253 stairs to the top of the Cape Palliser Lighthouse to admire the view:






On the way to the lighthouse we definitely stopped to take in the cuteness of the largest sealion colony in the North Island of New Zealand!


We started out last day with a walk on Lake Ferry Beach:



We headed out for lunch at The Vineyard Cafe in Martinborough:



Then we finally got home feeling relaxed and prepared for the new week ahead.


Love Char.
