Queenstown “Breathing Space”

Rugged mountains, majestic lakes, crystal clear air, and just so much to do. From skydiving and bungy jumping to wine trails, jet boating to tramping, dining out to skiing, the tricky part is extending your stay to try and fit everything in.

Queenstown has fast become a year round resort and rated as one of the worlds most desirable holiday locations.

Surrounded by six fantastic ski areas, Queenstown offers a superb winter experience with a generous après ski culture in its vibrant town centre and a wide range of fun activities off the slopes. The skiing is top notch, and Olympic ski and snowboard teams are regular visitors here.

Amuse yourself on a day off the slopes with walking trails, superb shopping, day spas, over 150 restaurants and bars, award winning vineyards and a host of adventure sports.

Adventure 

Adventure for fun, accessible adventure, adventure for relaxation. Queenstown is renowned for adventure. But there’s much, much more. Queenstown is a sophisticated holiday resort set in the magnificent landscapes of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. 

Downtown

Born as an 1860’s gold mining camp, 140 years later Queenstown has a compact and sophisticated downtown area tucked into a picturesque bay on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Dwarfed by the surrounding mountains, there are amazing views from everywhere. There’s also a permanent buzz in the downtown area where you’ll find a lively café/bar scene and excellent shopping.

Dusk to Dawn

Queenstown rarely sleeps. Sophisticated wine bars, live jazz, top DJ’s, long summer nights in a garden bar serving locally brewed beer or après ski in front of a roaring log fire, there’s more than 160 licensed bars and cafés in downtown Queenstown and the socialite is spoilt for choice all year round, any night of the week.

 

Queenstown New Zealand has something for every style of traveler, from families, honeymooners to backpackers.
