Calling all Kiwi's - it's time to fall back in love with the South Island!
We're all so lucky to consider New Zealand 'home' for a variety of reasons, and when you've got the beauty of the South Island on your doorstep, you can understand why our international guests envy us so much.
So when was the last time you visited little ol' Queenstown to get your fill of what makes our corner of the world so special?
There are so many fun filled activities and spectacular scenic experiences waiting for you - here are just a few reasons why NOW is the time to come explore QT…
- It's cheaper to travel here for you than most of the other international destinations of equal beauty or adventure - why spend $$ on an international flight when you can hop on a short domestic flight (or drive) and find yourself surrounded by everything the Central Lakes District has to offer?
- Enjoy the benefits of using your own currency and accounts while travelling - no international currency fees or surcharges required!
- We get lucky enough to have 4 distinct seasons in the year, each with their own benefits. Want to avoid peak seasons? Come in Spring (Sept - Nov) and Autumn (Mar - May) instead for cheaper prices, less congestion, and colour-changing natural beauty.
- It's not just Queenstown that's worth your time - experience Arrowtown, Glenorchy, Gibbston, Cardrona, Cromwell, Wanaka, and Bannockburn (just to name a few). Stretch your legs (or your vehicle's capacity) and go experience the region for a diverse adventure!
- Love to camp? We have a variety of locations in the region that are great for camping, so you can have an even cheaper (and more naturally focussed) experience.
- Love to hike? We have stacks of hikes and walks in the region, from short & flat to long & steep, there's something for every physical ability and schedule out there. We've even consolidated a list of our favourite hikes in the region (available free-of-charge when you stay with us)!
- Love to ride bikes? We're quite often referred to as the 'Whistler of the Southern Hemisphere' and for good reason! But it's not all gnarly (although we've got plenty of it) - the Queenstown Trails Trust has successfully implemented one of the most epic trail networks out there. Bring your bike with you, or rent from one of our partners to make travelling easy. We've also consolidated a list of our favourite rides in the region (also available for free when you stay with us)!
- Love to play Golf and/or Disc Golf? We coincidentally live in one of the most dense areas in the country for both! There are multiple courses of each type to choose from all within a 30km radius, and if Disc Golf is your thing, we've got discs available for free at reception!
- Take advantage of one of the most diverse Food & Beverage offerings outside of Auckland or Wellington! Queenstown might be small, but it packs a hell of a punch in terms of the diverse range of Restaurants, Bars and Cafe's. Just like Hiking and Biking, we've created an epic list of Breakfast, Lunch and Apres spots you can find when you stay with us 😎
- Queenstown's calendar is stacked with events year-round - from the Marathon, to Mardis Gras, and everything in between. There's always an event around the corner, and probably one that's right up your alley!
We could go on forever as there are so many more exciting and stunning things to do and see in Queenstown. Don’t believe us? Book that flight, get your lakeside accommodation booked with us, we promise you one hell of a holiday!
