Kayaking, Canoeing and Rowing
The Lake Ohau Cottage is superbly situated for kayaking. Just strap your kayak onto a trolley and walk it to Lake Ohau or Lake Middleton. Within minutes, you can be on the water. Chances are, you will be the only one out there. Or, if you are into whitewater kayaking, there are plenty of opportunities within a short drive. There are also rowing opportunities. Lake Ruataniwha has an international standard rowing course and is the main rowing venue in the South Island. It is a 25 minute drive from the cottage.
