Surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is well known for its breath-taking scenery and its overwhelming range of activities and experiences on offer. And with hundreds of cafes, bars, restaurants and wineries offering a wonderful selection of cuisine, every palate is catered for.

As the birthplace of world-first innovations like jet boating and bungy jumping – this adventure capital offers it all, from four wheel driving, canyon swings, river boarding, sky diving and paragliding. It’s also home to several international golf courses including Jacks Point, The Hills and Millbrook, and offers exceptional lake and fly fishing, water sports, lake cruising and biking and walking trails.

Queenstown includes filming sites from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit. Visit the filing locations of Minas Tirith, Misty Mountains, the Pillars of the Kings (Argonath), Gladden Fields, the Ford of Bruinen, Isengard, the Ithilien Camp, Lothlorien & Fanghorn forest and the Seat of Seeing/ Battle of Amon Hen and many more, on a sightseeing tour by either jetboat, four wheel drive or scenic flight.

Queenstown, the world’s southern-most wine producing region produces some of our best wines. Be sure to sample their award-winning local Pinot Noir at a nearby vineyard’s cellar door or visit ‘The Winery’ located in the heart of Queenstown to sample wines from all over New Zealand.

In the winter months, from June to September the region transforms into a winter wonderland and attracts skiers from all over the world to its two world class ski fields, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.
