High adventure, luxury living and scenery. Queenstown is an exhilarating, year-round alpine resort, perfect for adventurers and Leisure-seekers, and is recognised internationally as New Zealand's premier visitor destination.

Queenstown has more than just breathtaking scenery and a diverse range of attractions, it's the people visitors find enchanting.

The region enjoys four distinct and captivating seasons. Summer burns hot under blue skies before cool autumn mornings bring fire to the hills; trees change to vivid reds and gentle golds. Crisp, clear days and miles of white-capped mountains make winter a time for snow enthusiasts, before nature bursts into colourful life in spring.

Exploring the Southern Lakes from Queenstown, you will find the peace and tranquillity of the small town of Wanaka with its crystal - clear lake and dramatic mountain landscape. To the south west the silent grandeur of Milford Sound leaves many people speechless. Needless to say, getting up close and personal with this World Heritage Area is a must.

Accommodation in the Southern Lakes offers everything from silk sheets to groundsheets with backpackers and B&Bs to apartments and international class hotels and lodges.
