Queenstown - South Island, New Zealand

On top of the World! ...

Queenstown is all about lifestyle, the art of living in a frenetic world. Founded on gold, sustained on scenery, developed on adrenalin; Queenstown is unlike anywhere else in New Zealand, so leave your cares behind to enjoy some soul survival and body revival.

Take a walk or a drive and envelop yourself in a dramatic landscape of high peaks, clear blue water and vast areas of wilderness. Vineyards dot the landscape, inviting you to sample some of the world's best Pinot Noir and other local varietals. Golf courses abound where the views often distract from the fairway, and artists and craftspeople are drawn to the region with galleries galore. Central Queenstown is a compact and picturesque shopping area where international labels rub shoulders with the best New Zealand designs.

From bungy jumping to wine trails, jet boating to hiking, dining out to skiing and snowboarding and lake cruises, the difficulty you face when visiting Queenstown is deciding what activities to immerse yourself in.
