View of Lake Wakatipu

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is hardly a view anymore because the fir trees have grown tall. But it is a nice sunny spot for a break.

Basket of Dreams

Highlight • Monument

The Basket of Dreams is a sculpture made of steel by the artist Caroline Robinson.

There is a plaque nearby that says:

‚The Basket’s spiral of steel follows
you
inward to reflect to draw
inspiration from the mountains,
lake and from those who are with
you
outward to dream for the future.
Time flies, eternity awaits.‘
