Set on the shore of Lake Wakatipu against a stunning alpine backdrop and in the midst of Central Otago, Queenstown enjoys international renown as one of the world’s top holiday destinations.

Surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the Central Otago region, Queenstown sits on the shore of Lake Wakatipu amidst the beautiful Southern Alps, and is a perfect base from which to explore or relax. Just a short drive away is Mount Aspiring National Park, where any ‘Lord of the Rings’ fans will recognise a number of locations from the films.

From vineyards - Central Otago is known for Pinot poir and chardonnay varieties - to extreme adventure, to the more leisurely pastimes of scenic trails, sightseeing and spa treatments, Queenstown really does have something for everyone.
