Hidden in a mountainous region, Queenstown is a buzzing winter resort, both day and night
My suggestion
If winter sports or a jet set ambience aren't for you, then don't hang around!

On the shores of Lake Wakatipu, against the backdrop of the Remarkables mountain range, the town will delight walking enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike.
My suggestion
Climb high for breathtaking views of the lansdcape.

New Zealand's maximum adrenalin destination is nestled against a spectacular backdrop of mountains and a lake. Hiking, skiing, extreme sports... whatever happens, there's no danger of boredom!
My suggestion
If you intend to explore Milford Sound, try to stay a bit closer to places such as Te Anau, as the journey from Queenstown involves lots of bus travel!
New Zealand is an Antipodean land which attracts lovers of vast spaces and wild nature. Though it is mostly mountainous, the country has a diverse range of landscapes and environments: icy summits, plains with mirror-like lakes, wild coastline licked by the Pacific waters... The nature here is absolutely majestic. And fortunately ecology takes pride of place here.
