Village in a beautiful setting near native forest park and overlooking Lake Brunner. A small number of occupied original houses and lots of new modern holiday homes that would likely be busy in the Summer water-skiing season. Neat historic railway buildings. A great place to stop on the Tranzscenic with a couple of good places to eat overlooking the lake. Beautiful short bush walks nearby.

Great little place to stay. Hotel/apartment was excellent. All very good facilities. Views of the lake were stunning, lots of nice walks to do and enjoy. Summer would be a great place to holiday in. All meals were able to be had at hotel.

It overlooks Lake Brunner with Mountains as a backdrop including Mt Te Kinga. There are many walking and biking tracks close by. Excellent trout fishing is available in the Lake as well as the nearby rivers.

It is a wonderful spot and surprisingly didn't cost the earth. We ate in the Lodge and the food was excellent. The lodge and the owners are wonderful. There is a short length of unpaved road to get to the lodge but don't let that deter you. It passes quickly and just adds to its charm.

Nice and quiet before Christmas, afterwards gets very busy with holiday makers, good walking tracks around the area. Great place if you have a boat, water skiing etc. Greymouth is only 25 minutes away if you need to go to a supermarket i.e. Countdown and New World. There is a convenience store (On the Spot) on the outskirts of Moana.

What I liked best, was a significant contributor to almost the worst aspect of my stay in Moana. The air was clear, the lake was pristine, the walks were easy going. There were no problems experienced jostling for space with other visitors on the lakefront or walks; and the food was great. The negative side to those superlatives was the cost of food and drink, and being unable to make easy contact with activity operators, such as being able to book a cruise on the lake. By the time this was sorted (it took almost 24hrs) there was not enough time left to then obtain a conveniently timed booking. It would have been great to have a specific, well signed, location where drone photographers could launch and fly their UAS, for videographic purposes, under Part 101 of NZ CAA rules.
