Queenstown
Sitting on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is New Zealand’s foremost tourist destination. A magical alpine village set against one of the most spectacular scenic backdrops - the Remarkables mountain range.
Once a nineteenth century gold mining camp, it is now an acclaimed four-season resort. It offers adventure sport, art; fantastic food, trout fishing, luxury accommodation, internationally recognised backcountry treks, and award winning vineyards that produce some of the world’s best Pinot Noir.
Rugged snow-capped mountains, majestic glacial lakes, pristine rivers and thick native forest blanket this natural wonderland. Queenstown itself is a sophisticated buzzing resort town of hotels, bars, restaurants, boutique shops, galleries and nightlife.
Six nearby ski fields draw skiers and snowboarders from around the world. Adrenalin junkies will love heli-mountain biking, jet boating on the world famous Shotover River, and bungying from the 71-metre Skippers Canyon Bridge.
