Queenstown, Te Anau, Fiordland

The alpine resort of Queenstown sits on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by mountains, and at one thousand and 20 feet above sea level this is a region of beautiful seasonal contrasts.

Long summer twilights lead into brilliant autumn days …  and then winter transforms Queenstown into a snow lover’s dream destination with some of the best skiing in the world.  In fact, Queenstown has been known to be called the Aspen of Australasia.

The town’s an excellent base camp with a lively scene of Restaurants, Casinos, Pubs and sophisticated shopping and just within driving distance home to one of the world’s top adventure sporting grounds.  Whether it is bungy jumping, white water rafting, jet boating, paraponting or skiing/Heli skiing – if you want to have an adrenaline rush then this is the place for you.

For a more gentle experience 40 minutes drive away Central Otago’s magnificent scenery is the backdrop for a tapestry of rich history and memories of the colonial settlers who are still cherished here in Arrowtown.

Also just 30 minutes away on your way to Arrowtown is one of New Zealand’s most spectacular golfing resorts, Millbrook Resort that was designed by Sir Bob Charles New Zealand’s famous pro golfer.  Pretty much whichever way you’re hitting the ball at Millbrook Resort you’re encountering the alpine scenery which is out of this world.

Whether it is laid back, adrelain junky or leisure lifestyle orientated this town has everything one could ask and more!

We suggest spending 2 – 3 days here.
