Queenstown

Lake Wakatipu, alpine adventure, and a South Island town whose setting does much of the talking.

Adventure, beautifully framed

Queenstown can be highly active, but its best version is carefully balanced. Great scenery, private villas, lodges, wineries, boating, heli-skiing, and easy access to Fiordland make it especially effective for travellers who want an adventurous itinerary without visible effort. It is dramatic, polished, and remarkably adaptable.
