Waihola

Waihola

The township of Waihola lies between Dunedin and Milton, New Zealand in Otago, in New Zealand's South Island. It lies close to the southeast shore of the shallow tidal lake which shares its name.

The name "Waihola" is the southern Maori form of the word "wai-hora", meaning "spreading waters".

The town is located on State Highway 1, and the South Island Main Trunk rail line runs through it, though trains no longer stop. The township has a population of approximately 200, and is within the boundaries of Clutha District.

Waihola is a popular destination for day-trips from Dunedin, 35 kilometres to the north, and the lake is a venue for many water sports, including waterskiing, rowing, and yachting.
