Nestled on the shores of majestic Lake Wakatipu and overlooked by the aptly named Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown is now internationally recognised as the ultimate visitor destination in the Southern Hemisphere.
Queenstown enjoys four distinct and captivating seasons. Summer burns hot under blue skies before cool autumn mornings change the leaves to vivid reds and gentle golds. With crisp, clear days and acres of snow covered mountains, winter is a time for snow enthusiasts, before nature bursts into colourful life during spring.
In winter, internationally styled Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski areas attract thousands of skiers and snowboarders to their sunny slopes. At night the town pulses with unparalleled aprés ski excitement.
Born of an 1860’s gold mining camp, its illustrious heritage is still prominently evident in the town’s pioneering spirit and adventure culture.
Queenstown is famous for its huge range of activities, from relaxed indulgence to extreme adrenaline adventure. Surging gold bearing river gorges provide heart stopping thrills including bungy jumping, white water rafting, jetboating and river surfing.
Boutique wineries capitalise on the climate to produce some of the world’s best pinot noirs, while internationally acclaimed chefs in the cafes and restaurants serve up tantalising cuisine including fresh lamb, beef, venison and salmon.
Golf is a magical experience here with spectacular mountain peaks and the crystal clear waters of Lake Wakatipu encircling your choice of courses.
This is the place where the fun never ends!
