Planning tips
Book popular activities for early or late slots to dodge peak crowds. Keep a weather‑swap plan like Front9 or a scenic drive. If you’re working on the go, the lobby is useful for short sessions between outings.
Getting there with Ryd
Use a Ryd when distance helps—Crown Range to Wanaka, wineries, or ski roads—then drop the car and enjoy evenings on foot.
