-- About this video --

Today we have a long drive from Marahau to the Nelson Lakes National Park, so we get to enjoy the changing scenery standard from a New Zealand roadtrip. We reach the beginning of the Southern Alps which means we’ve hit the beautiful Nelson Lakes National Park.

We park up at Lake Rotoiti which is just off the main state highway and half a minute drive from the town of St Arnaud. First things first, we need to get that token photo of the Lake Rotoiti Jetty!

Here, we see wildlife, especially eels (tuna in Maori) under the jetty, as well as crazy-looking ducks and swans.

We also find “the hidden” Lake Rotoiti Jetty for your viewing pleasure.

Well, there’s not much else to say about Lake Rotoiti other than there are a couple of hikes in the area should you want to go exploring more.

So what do you think of Lake Rotoiti? Is it worth a pit stop for a South Island Road Trip? Let us know!
