We really enjoyed our overnight stay at Glendhu Bay. The spot was very scenic and tidy. The park wasn’t overly busy as we were in the off season which was nice. The only downside I noted was that you had to pay for hot showers. $2 for 6min isn’t too bad but was a surprised compared to everywhere else we stayed where it’s free. That being said, the bathrooms were very clean and heated nicely. It’s a little out of Wanaka (about 15min) so not ideal if you want to eat out in town for dinner. Overall a good spot and hopefully one day we will be back.
