Lake Wānaka Centre is nestled in the heart of our picturesque township and is a key festival location for our major events. Built from natural timbers and locally stacked stone, and set within landscaped grounds along the clear waters of Bullock Creek, the original community venue embraces its idyllic surroundings. It is in close proximity to a number of hotels, restaurants and retail outlets.

17 Gordon Rd, Wānaka
A working production facility brewing with space for its tasting room, this sunny spot in the backblocks of Wānaka provides a cosy venue for special festival events.
The macrocarpa interior, old armchairs, and custom graffiti artwork (imagine a psychedelic, fear, and loathing-esque mural) bring ambiance and colour to this fully operational brew house.

The Centre is located on Myra Street close to all Lake Hāwea amenities. The Lake Hāwea Community Centre is owned by the local community and was established in 2013. We are thrilled to be programming more festival events in Hāwea for 2025!
