It is approximately 45 kilometres by road or boat from Queenstown, the nearest large town.

Dart River (Otago)
The Dart River, Te Awa Wakatipu in Māori language, flows through rugged forested country in the southwestern South Island of New Zealand. Partly in Mount Aspiring National Park, it flows south-west and then south for 60 kilometres from its headwaters in the Southern Alps and the Dart Glacier, eventually flowing into the northern end of Lake Wakatipu near Glenorchy. It was named in the 1860s by a runholder, William Gilbert Rees, who chose the name for the river's swift flow.
Rees River
The Rees River is a river in New Zealand, flowing into upper Lake Wakatipu. It is named for explorer and early settler William Gilbert Rees, the founder of the nearby town of Queenstown.
