Advantages: New Zealand scenery at its best Disadvantages: Some say a bit pricey!!!
...when you are a Queenstown fan.
Well, the sun doesn't shine every single day but many of the 365 sunrises over Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu are a poet's dream.
A gem in New Zealand' crown, on the 45th parallel, Queenstown is a mecca for tourists who come for all-seasons activities and I don't expect there's many who leave disappointed.
This is a town which exists, not only because of the high visitor numbers, but for honestly some of the best ...

Advantages: A beautiful setting for doing some crazy things! Disadvantages: A long way to get to
...wanting to write especially about Queenstown based on the 'extreme' nature of the place!
When I say extreme, I mean that in many ways. Firstly, like many places in New Zealand, Queenstown is a beautiful place. Located in Otago on the South Island, Queenstown is surrounded by mountain ranges and built around the northern shore of Lake Wakatipu, and unlike many other New Zealand towns, does not look to have been purpose built along one main street. ...

There are plenty of booking offices in the centre to book your activities so don't worry too much if you haven't anything planned before you get there, and tourist information centres to help you on your way. There are plenty of banks and ...

Advantages: Mountains, Lakes and plenty of Outdoor Activity Disadvantages: None
...World !
I visited Queenstown without even realising that it was known as one of the worlds main outdoor activity centres.

It is simply a beautiful stunning place, sitting at the end of the enormous Lake Wakitupu (takes about an hour to drive along to the other end). With 'The Remakables' spectacular mountain range sitting ...
