While you are in Moana
Not every hour has to be on the rod. Partners and families often enjoy the lake and West Coast attractions while anglers are on the water.
On and around Lake Brunner
- Lake Brunner Scenic Trail — walking and cycling; local e-bike hire is an easy way to explore the shore.
- Bush walks from Moana — from twenty minutes to a full day; native forest and birdlife.
Day trips
- Shantytown, near Greymouth — gold-rush heritage, easy half-day.
