Queenstown is the Southern Hemisphere's premiere four season alpine and lake resort. Nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and overlooked by the majestic Remarkables Range, Queenstown is the perfect destination all year round, with a range of quality accommodation available, including boutique hotels, alpine lodges, resorts, apartments and guesthouses.
Summer burns hot under blue skies before cool autumn morning's 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.
The town follows the shores of Lake Wakatipu - a deep blue pool of pure mountain water.
Framing the picture is The Remarkables range with its purple-brown peaks topped with snow. Swathes of green decorate the area between town and mountain top.
There are year-round action-packed thrills, such as jet boating, white water rafting and parapenting. Queenstown is also the world capital and home of bungy jumping.
In winter, Queenstown turns into an alpine playground - skiers and snowboarders come from all over the world to join in the fun at the annual Winter Festival.
On Lake Wakatipu, the vintage TSS Earnslaw steamer has been beautifully restored to its original condition and takes visitors on daily trips.
Take a short drive back in time to the historic goldmining settlement of Arrowtown with its quaint, tree-lined streets, miners’ cottages and shops preserved as they were during the 19th century gold rush era or drive the shores of Lake Wakatipu to discover the beautiful hamlet of Glenorchy, the gateway to the Paradise Valley and the famous Routeburn walking track.
Over the hill but not very far from Queenstown, find the peace and tranquility of the small town of Wanaka. Wanaka is Queenstown's mellow neighbour, a peaceful haven for an escape from city like. With its crystal clear lake and dramatic mountain landscape - the name Wanaka means 'renewal of the soul'.
Further abroad, discover the mysteries of stunning Fiordland. Enjoy a cruise on the spectacular Sounds, have a close encounter with seals and dolphins which often frequent the area.
