| Queenstown is the Southern Hemisphere's premier four-season lake and alpine resort with rugged mountains, majestic lakes and crystal clear air and plenty to do. From bungy jumping to wine trails, jet boating to trekking, dining out to skiing - the hard part is fitting everything in. The area has captured the hearts and imaginations since the first Maori came in search of pounamu (greenstone) and the giant Moa bird. More recently gold miners, adventurers, film makers and even Hollywood stars have all been drawn by Queenstown's intense alpine energy and stunning scenery. Dwarfed by the surrounding mountains, there are amazing views from wherever you are. Queenstown is a vibrant winter playground for ski and snowboard enthusiasts from throughout the world. It's just as active during the rest of the year with trekking, boating on the lake and a host of adrenalin-pumping thrills the area is so famous for. Those after a more relaxing time can indulge in the magnificent scenery and wealth of award-winning vineyards located in Gibbston Valley, explore the area on an arts trail or enjoy a game of golf on one of the area's world-class courses. Nearby, Arrowtown is a combination of striking seasonal changes, historic buildings and quiet charm while Glenorchy is bordered by the World Heritage Area and surrounded by mountains, glacier-fed rivers and beech forest. |
