Queenstown-...it was fit for Queen Victoria

 

 

Located at east-southern of South Island ,nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and overlooked by the majestic Remarkables Range. Blessed with some of the world's most exquisite geography, Queenstown never fails to amaze travellers with its scope for excitement and fun. Queenstown was named because...it was fit for Queen Victoria. Certainly it's lived up to that expectation. By flight from Auckland takes 2 hours and 10 minutes, from Christchurch takes 50 minutes. By road from Christchurch takes 8 hours. Queenstown has a population of over 50,000.

Queenstown is the perfect destination all year round. Earth, water or air, there is something to test and thrill adventure seekers alike, such as jet boating, white water rafting and parapenting. Queenstown is also the world capital and home of bungy jumping. In winter, Queenstown turns into an alpine playground - skiers and snowboarders come from all over the world to join in the fun at the annual Winter Festival.

Wine tasting is fast becoming one of the more popular ways to see the greater Queenstown region. Join one of the wine tours to Gibbston Valley, Chard Farm or Peregrine Winery among a number of top class boutique wineries.
