is an international lake and alpine resort and New Zealand's adventure
capital, built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu - a
long thin lake formed by glacial processes that is shaped like a
staggered lightning bolt, and has spectacular views of nearby mountains
of the Southern Alps mountain range.
Queenstown has more than just breathtaking scenery and a diverse range
of attractions, it's the people visitors find enchanting.
Queenstown 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 snow covered mountains, make winter a time for snow
enthusiasts, before nature bursts into colourful life in spring.
