Situated on New Zealand's South Island - Queenstown is a 45-minute flight or roughly a six-hour drive from Christchurch, the South Island's main international airport.

Rugged mountains, majestic lakes and crystal clear air have always attracted visitors to Queenstown. From its origins as an 1860's goldmining camp, Queenstown has developed a sophisticated downtown area which extends along the picturesque bay on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Wherever you are in Queenstown you'll enjoy amazing views. There's also a permanent buzz of excitement downtown thanks to the lively café and bar scene and Queenstown's excellent shopping.

Night Life
Queenstown is the hub of the Wakatipu. Whether you're after sophisticated wine bars, live jazz, or great DJ's Queenstown can supply it. Enjoy long summer evenings in a garden bar enjoying the locally brewed beer or crisp winter evenings enjoying your après ski in front of a roaring log fire. Queenstown has more than 160 licensed bars and cafés to choose from.
