Where to stay in Queenstown
To enjoy views of Lake Wakatipu in a luxury setting, try one of the many boutique and long-established hotels of the downtown area. As a resort town, Queenstown also offers a range of more modest accommodations, ideal for adventurers, backpackers, and those eager to spend more time outside than in. These come in the form of hostels, rental apartments, campsites, and suburban motels. A good local bus service provides connections between the downtown and suburban areas, and out to the surrounding attractions, and many accommodations offer package tours.

Things to do in Queenstown
Queenstown
When you visit the region between the giant Southern Alps and New Zealand's longest lake, you'll find a plethora of things to do in Queenstown. Popular with adventure tourists, the city is a hub for those looking for base-jumping, rock climbing, safaris, ziplining, and speedboat tours. If you prefer to relax while sightseeing, hop on a tour bus and check out the rising mountains that stand above the waters of Milford Sound, including Mitre Peak, one of the world's most photographed mountains. While in the city, you'll also find plenty of operators offering popular horseback riding tours up to the nearby heights.
