General information
This block consists of the western faces of Matatiaho Conservation Area, which overlook Lake Wānaka just to the north of Mou Waho Island. The terrain is steep and covered in scrub closer to the lake with tussock grassland higher up.
The Lake Wānaka Faces block is restricted. You need to get a permit (issued for three days at a time only) specifically for this block, from the DOC Wanaka Area Office. In addition, this block is balloted for the roar period during the months of March and April.
Safari hunting operates throughout the year on Glen Dene Station which borders to the north. Hunting outside the conservation land boundaries is prohibited.
Contractors for TBfree may undertake aerial monitoring work in this block for animal health inspections. The block will not be exclusive during this period and an effort to notify the permit holder will be made in advance of the work.
Access
This block is accessed by boat on the eastern shore of Lake Wānaka. The climb from Lake Wānaka is difficult due to the steep slopes and thick scrub.
Firearms and dogs are not permitted on the Stewart Creek/Glen Dene Ridge Tracks.
