Hi everyone,


From Thursday 28th of August our fishing activities are taking a short break due to high demand and our fish needing time to catch up. While we are sorry there is no fishing at the moment, we’re still open four days a week and there’s plenty to enjoy in the meantime!


Come and feed our juvenile salmon, explore our beautiful gardens and lakes, and relax at our on-site restaurant.


There is heaps for the kids too — mini golf, a sandpit, and loads of fun lawn games


And don’t worry, all existing fishing bookings will still be honoured during this time.


Fishing returns on the 24th of September just in time for spring!


We’re celebrating with a Reopening Day on the 27th with fun family activities for everyone.


Thank you for your understanding. Love, Hook.

Welcome to Hook Wānaka, a fishery and eatery located in Albert Town.


At Hook Wānaka, we offer a unique lake-to-plate fishing adventure where you can catch Chinook salmon from our spring-fed lakes.


For just $10, you can hire a rod and all the gear you need. After your catch, our team will prepare it to your liking while you play mini-golf, feed the fish, or relax and enjoy a local beer or wine. 


No prior fishing experience is required, making Hook Wānaka ideal for families, couples, and groups seeking a memorable experience.


We are a must-visit attraction in Wānaka, offering not only delicious salmon but also a variety of non-salmon dishes and wood-fired pizzas.


As the only interactive fishing experience in New Zealand’s Southern Lakes, make sure to check out our website for bookings and further information.


We look forward to welcoming you to Hook Wānaka.
