They say that 'trout die of old age' at Lake Brunner. Moana is the lake's only settlement; it’s also a train stop for the TranzAlpine.

Situated at the edge of Lake Brunner, Moana is a tiny settlement with a camping ground and a store. The TranzAlpine railway (voted one of the top six train journeys in the world) stops here and guests can board or depart the train.

Fishing is a key attraction, Lake Brunner holds excellent stocks of wild brown trout and is open all year. It can be fished in almost any weather – boats are available for hire. There are several other lakes and more than 40 rivers or streams within an hour’s drive of Moana.
