We hold 96 venues in Wānaka — 65 places to eat and 31 to stay. That makes it the 3rd-largest of the 117 towns and suburbs we cover in Otago, carrying 8% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 21st out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 26% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Wānaka eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 17 cafés, 30 restaurants, 9 takeaways, 6 bars and 3 pubs.

26 of the 65 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are indian (4), coffee shop (2) and burger (2). Relative to the rest of the country Wānaka is unusually strong on indian — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 34 publish opening hours (35%), 4 are recorded as step-free, 15 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Wānaka runs to 31 listings — 9 hotels, 8 motels, 3 b&bs and guest houses, 7 hostels, 1 serviced apartments and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 29% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 32% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Mount Maunganui (95), New Lynn (93), Pukekohe (90) and Lower Hutt (103) — average 12% accommodation. Wānaka runs at 32%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 7 of the 96 venues in Wānaka carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
