Fly South / Aotearoa New Zealand

Nelson Lakes National Park

Nelson Lakes National Park is a calm, forested corner of the north where two dark alpine lakes hold the mountains in reflection. Beech forest follows the shorelines before valleys lead away into quieter backcountry. It feels like a place made for slowing down and looking closely.

About Nelson Lakes National Park

The small village of St Arnaud sits on Lake Rotoiti's shore and serves as the gateway to the wider Travers-Sabine backcountry, popular for tramping and trout fishing. In Fly South, Nelson Lakes offers a calmer contrast to the busier northern coast: the two lakes sit like dark anchors in the forest, with valleys and ridges radiating outward toward higher country and, eventually, the distant West Coast.
