Discovering Queenstown
Queenstown was named so because "it was fit for Queen Victoria". It is recognised as New Zealand's premier visitor destination and 'The Adventure Capital of the World'.
Nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is framed by the majestic Remarkables mountain range. The town sits at 310 metres above sea level. The best part of this special place is the spectacular alpine scenery; lakes, rivers, and the variety of contrasting environments can all be easily accessed and enjoyed. Originally an 1860's gold mining camp, Queenstown has a compact and sophisticated downtown area, tucked into a picturesque bay. There is a permanent buzz downtown where you'll find a lively café and bar scene as well as excellent shopping.
Queenstown is also New Zealand's (NZ) capital for adventure attractions. Take a leap at any of Queenstown's four bungee sites, especially at the 43m high Kawarau Suspension Bridge. Then there's rock climbing, hot air ballooning, and for the not–so–adventurous outdoor types, hiking – there are several beautiful, internationally renowned hiking routes in the Queenstown area.
New Zealand's winter months of June to August bring colder weather to much of the country, and more rain to most areas in the North Island. Mountain ranges in both islands become snow–covered, providing beautiful vistas and excellent skiing.
While the South Island has cooler winter temperatures, some areas of the island experience little rainfall in winter, so this is an excellent time to visit glaciers, mountains, and other areas of scenic beauty.
It is recommended that you pack warm winter garments and layer your clothing.
