Queenstown is expensive for sure but a quaint town with numerous activities available in both the town and the surrounding area, therefore offers both relaxation and adventure depending on your mood. I went during May, therefore the snow hadn't set for which I believe skiing is a popular activity in the region and adds to the landscape with the snow covered mountains surrounding the city. Ensure you have enough money as there are plenty of other places around the South Island to stay which would be cheaper. I enjoyed Milford Sound but they were having a "drought" as it hadn't rained in 2 weeks therefore not as many waterfalls on display but still beautiful. I would go up top to do the luge and paragliding, but don't do the luge if you are tall (I'm 6'4") as there aren't any big enough for you. I also visited Arrowtown which is a nice village just outside to visit with a great vibe. Other activities I would recommend are also jet-boats and plenty of opportunities for bungee and possibly skydiving as this is very temperamental in Franz Josef where we booked and it was cancelled, therefore either here or Abel Tasman is a safer bet.

I spent quite a bit of time around downtown Queenstown.
I spent quite a bit of time around downtown Queenstown. It was very easy to get around and the people were quite friendly and helpful.
I ate at the "Boardwalk" and "Flame" -- both on the wharf side. I was disappointed in the food at the Flame (pork ribs), and also that the waiters didn't explain how large a portion I was ordering. In many NZ restaurants, you have a choice of ordering a "Main" or "Entree" portion. I enjoyed eating at the Boardwalk more.
The scenery is exceptionally beautiful there and the energy of the town was incredible to experience! I'm so glad I decided to visit Queenstown!

This was our fourth visit to Queenstown from Auckland, and the 3rd time staying at the Heritage Hotel. Because there are numerous road works around the town at present( May 2024) and also having to pay for parking everywhere we found it easier to go in by bus and leave the car at the Hotel which gave us more freedom to walk, sight see and get around.
There are an abundance of eateries around Queenstown. Pog Mahones Irish pub. Eriks fish and chips food truck, and of course the famous Fers burgers. A short drive by car or on the bus is the the new shopping centre at Franklin not far from the airport , which takes around 15 mins, where we had lunch at Billy`s cafe, and also lunch at the Coffee club.
In Queenstown, we took the Lunch time cruise on the Earnslaw steamboat up to Walter peak sheep station. Beautiful lunch and scenery.
walked around the Botanical gardens.
Its a lovely drive by car or bus to Arrowtown you can go one way and return via lake Hayes. While there pop into the Fork and tap pub.

The traffic management situation is problematic.
The traffic management situation is problematic. Queenstown seems to be overloved causing traffic issues which are exacerbated by road works all over the place. Don’t expect to solve the parking riddle easily.
Apart from these issues Queenstown is great place with great scenery and a good vibe.

Beautiful landscapes and scenery, lot of places to try different foods and activities to do and Queenstown is a stones throw away from the outer towns e.g. Cardrona, Wanaka, Cromwell, Arrowtown which we visited. Definitely worth a visit and the drive and scenary were spectacular. We went on two jet boat rides, to the Onsen Spas and up the Gondala for dinner at the Stratosphere Restaurant (food was great but it was very busy). Had our first Ferg Burger which was delish!! Overall, a great trip!!

We loved our 4 day trip to Queenstown, and the surrounding region, had a wander around Arrowtown, lunch at the Fork & Tap Pub was squid and cheeseboard was it was delicious. We caught up with family that have recently moved to Cromwell and loved seeing this area. We enjoyed a drive through to Wanaka around the stunning homes being built there, in the evening we enjoyed dinner at Blu Kanu, we had the chef selection and it was exceptional, we are still talking about it. We had lunch at Ayrburn at the Manure Shed (seriously) we enjoyed the wine tasting and another lovely cheeseboard, not as good as Fork & Tap, but still excellent and the surroundings are out of this world gorgeous We enjoyed a drive through to Glenorchy, we also had dinner at Botswana Butchery which always delvers an amazing level of service. A truely relaxing break away from Auckland. Even though our accommodation was not perfect, we were not there much and loved every minute in Queenstown.
I would highly recommend this accommodation. Jude, the host is lovely and happy to help. The view from the apartment is amazing and the space for a family of 4 (including 2 adult children) is fantastic! The location is great as there is a walking path that runs along the lake and takes you into Queenstown. The apartment is well equipped and was very clean on arrival. I would definitely stay here again!
The view from the room was amazing, with a direct view of the lake from the windows/balcony. The hotel location was also really convenient and a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Queenstown.
The room was also nice and spacious, while the bed was comfortable and big.
Spacious fully fitted out 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with one carpark. Location was great, a five minute walk to town. View across to the gondola, central Queenstown and peeks of the lake. The apartment was clean and furnished really well. Nicer for me to stay in than a hotel.
the staff were amazing! the team has been super helpful throughout our 3-nights stay. provided lots of recommendations on what to see/eat in Queenstown. they have beenvery flexible and attentive. the view of the hotel was superb. it is easily our best stay in our New Zealand trip
It was in such a great location; so close to lots of shops in Frankton, and only about 10 minutes from the actual Queenstown town centre. Amazing mountain views from all around too! The actual hotel was super modern and luxurious, the room was really nice, I loved it all!
This hotel was great value for more money. Central location off the main road to Queenstown. The view is stunning. The bathroom is modern and clean. I would be happy to stay here again. Parking was reasonably easy. Potentially a little tight if you have a large vehicle.
Amazing Room - Really spacious with a kitchenette included with fridge, microwave + hob. The whole building is clean, the parking out front is very useful and the sauna was an added bonus! The location is a ~10 minute walk to the centre of Queenstown, so not too bad.
It was something cheap and central, which is rare in Queenstown.. relatively transient movement with no real meaningfully exchanges other than to talk about places visited... and not much location for that, or at least i didn't know about one.
The apartment is about 20mins walking distance to Queenstown Central via the botanical gardens. The apartment had all the house necessities with amazing views of the lake from the bedrooms. Internet was high speed which was helpful.
Nice apartments had everything we need and very warm. Kind welcoming caring staff and owners. stunning views from our apartment of the snowy mountains, Queenstown town centre and lake. highly recommended and would stay here again.
The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious. The hotel was relatively close to the centre of queenstown. The staff were friendly and helpful. Didn't try the breakfast but the views from the breakfast room was incredible.
Only real plus for me was the restaurants at the other hotel at the bottom of the hill, which had good food and staff.
Also, the fact we could get the water taxi over to the centre of Queenstown and back was good.
Comfy cheap hotel 5-10 mins outside of Queenstown Center. Rooms have heating and electric blankets. Double or king beds are 2x single beds together with king fitted sheet/blankets
Exactly as advertised. If you want cheap hostel accommodation in Queenstown that's clean with a comfortable bed, decent facilities and very central, this is a great option.
We liked the proximity of the hotel to Queenstown centre. There was also free parking available immediately outside the hotel. The room was very clean.
Perfect view from the deluxe plus room and the bath tub facing the lake. Water taxi was just at the hotel l, cheap fare and quick to queenstown centre.
