Queenstown is the apres-ski, adventure capital of the Southern Hemisphere. Not only is this resort town surrounded by some of the most spectacular alpine scenery, it has a whole raft of adrenaline-pumping, heart-stopping activities on offer.

If most of the action you want after a day on the slopes is lifting a cold beer or a crisp Chardonnay - then Queenstown is the place for that too. The town is known for its cafes, bars, restaurants and night-clubs - full of people from around the world who know how to party hard.

And during the daytime, there's great shopping, scenic trips on Lake Wakatipu, sightseeing flights to Milford Sound, international standard golf courses and much more to give your New Zealand holiday the ultimate mix of action and relaxation.

Needless to say, all this resort living is more than matched by the outstanding range of accommodation available in Queenstown. No matter what your style or credit card limit, you'll find the ideal place to stay - all of them within easy reach of the town's two ski areas - Coronet Peak and The Remarkables and only a 1.5 hour scenic drive away from Queenstown is Wanaka and Treble Cone and Cardrona skifields

The spectacular setting on the shores of beautiful Lake Wakatipu against the towering Remarkables range will take your breath away. So will the unique range of adrenalin-pumping, heart-thumping action attractions. The town itself is sophisticated and savvy, cosmopolitan yet casual and, best of all, everywhere you look is completely natural and unspoiled.

Home to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables - two of New Zealand’s premier ski and snowboard areas, Queenstown is easily accessible with weekly direct Trans-Tasman flights or via Christchurch International Airport.
