BBQ spots in New Zealand

"There’s loads of places to picnic at Eely Point Reserve. Bring your portable BBQ and dine under the tall trees of the Reserve. There’s a great space to play some sport and Bremner Bay is nearby for swimming too."

"A superb spot for a BBQ, I love Wanaka Station Park for its close location to the famous lake, perfect for swimming. There are loads of great walks in the area and glorious views. The walks even lead you to Edgewater Resort and Rippon Vineyard which ain’t bad either!"

"Lake Hayes is a recently opened track which is perfect for strolling around on foot or two wheels. The pavilion is a great spot to explore the lake and stop for a picnic or BBQ. You’ll even get to see some pukeko! A favourite place for the locals and their families."

"A lovely 35 hectare park, you’ll certainly have trouble deciding where to have your picnic at Ivon Wilson Park. The lake here is full of brown trout which are easy for children to catch, and there are amazing walks to be taken as well."

"With picnic tables, BBQ area and playground, Frankton Beach Picnic Area is one of the best in Queenstown! There are loads of walks down to the lake with spectacular views of Frankton Arm and Marina. And there is jetski hire available too!"
