Lake Ōhau in the Mackenzie High Country is cradled between the Ōhau Range to the west in the Main Divide and the Ben Ōhau range to the east.  In summer it is endowed with fine weather and long daylight hours and in winter with reliable snow.  The restaurant at Lake Ōhau Lodge has a reputation for outstanding food, great service and warm, welcoming atmosphere and features an open fire, big windows with lake views, a bar and lovely big tables. Guests are invited to sit together which often is one of the highlights of your time here.
