The Wanaka Mountain Film Festival is coming to Hobsonville, Auckland on Sat 1 August at the beautifully renovated Sunderland Lounge.
We’re doing a special price this year as we want to help support Buzz and his local House of Travel team who have really struggled during Covid-19 but that have been such great supporters of our community. So come and have an amazing time and see what amazing holidays they have available before the films commence and during the interval.
This session will feature the “Best of Wanaka: The most popular package of award winning films.

Every step of the way the team faces hazardous conditions, terrifying setbacks, and crushing misfortunes.
