Location

Moke Lake is a small lake near the suburb of Closeburn in Queenstown, in the South Island of New Zealand.

Ngāi Tahu call the lakes Punamāhaka and Waikāmāhaka. Both mean “twin waters”, describing the peculiar shape of the lake.[1]

Moke Lake and Moke Creek were named after an old mule on a farm there.[1]
