About Queenstown
About Queenstown
With its majestic lake and alpine beauty, unrivalled range of activities and attractions, superior accommodation choices, cosmopolitan shopping, award-winning food and wine, buzzing nightlife and friendly Southern hospitality, Queenstown is rated one of the world’s most desirable destinations.
With such a regal name, it’s fitting that Queenstown has so much to offer in the way of luxury. Five-star lodges and hotels provide the detailed touches discerning world travellers expect while the region’s vast array of experiences can cater perfectly to any visitor with any interest, whether it be heli-skiing, a round at one of the world’s top golf courses, being pampered at a luxury spa, enjoying award-winning local food and wine, or finding a breathtaking location for a marriage proposal.
Queenstown is also complemented perfectly by its surrounds - the picturesque historic goldmining village of Arrowtown and the Crown Range sit to the north-east, the famous vineyards of Gibbston’s ‘valley of vines’ and the Kawarau Gorge are to the south-east, the pretty lakeside township of Kingston lies at the southern end of Lake Wakatipu and the frontier town Glenorchy at the western end of the lake sits amongst the spectacular ‘Lord of the Rings’ scenery of snowcapped mountains, pristine lakes and rivers and national parks.
As a true four-season destination, Queenstown’s distinctive seasons bring crisp, clear blue-sky days and snow-capped mountains in winter while spring retains the snow but longer warmer days and bright blooms transform the landscape. Summer offers hot dry days and long twilights, and autumn’s brilliant red and gold colours are internationally renowned.
