Even the arrival into Queenstown is memorable – as you emerge from the airport you notice the magnificent Remarkables mountain range, which is your backdrop for the 15 minute drive into the town itself.
Regularly named as one of the world’s top holiday destinations, Queenstown boasts one of the most stunning settings of any town in the world – set against towering alpine mountain ranges and nestled on the shore of Lake Wakatipu. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and galleries to browse as you wander the easy-to-navigate streets and soak up the relaxed atmosphere.
This is truly a year-round destination, and offers a plethora of activities to enjoy regardless of the weather – Queenstown is known as the ‘adventure capital of New Zealand’. Bungee jumping, sky diving, boating, trekking, horse riding, heli-biking and skiing are just some of the active pursuits available to visitors to Queenstown; walking, hiking, sightseeing, boutique shopping, excellent dining and spa treatments are also available for a more relaxing getaway!
