Advantages: wonderful scenery, beautiful place! Disadvantages: Pricey compared t other parts of NZ but none really!
If you are planning a trip to New Zealand chances are you will have heard of Queenstown, the "adventure capital." After reading about it I expected it to be big, touristy and tacky but boy was I wrong!!
Queenstown is located in the south west of the south island of New Zealand. It has a population of 7500 people and is more like a small town or large village rather than an adventure "capital!" My first views on the place were what a beautiful place it was, it is situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with mountains, quite suitably named The Remarkables making a breathtaking backdrop to the view. It is such a beautiful place that if you don't want to be involved with all the adventure sports and tourist activities you could quite happily just stay here, relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. There are plenty of leisurely ...

Advantages: New Zealand scenery at its best Disadvantages: Some say a bit pricey!!!
A jewel shines brightly in New Zealand's South Island .... it is Queenstown. Stunning, beautiful, adventure-playground, majestic mountains and calm waters are just a few introductory adjectives - they aren't enough to describe this magnificent part of New Zealand.
``Mountain tops pierce the clear, blue sky - the sun shines on crystal, clear, azure waters''. You won't find this in any poetry book - because I made this little set of words up - it's easy to do 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 ...

Advantages: A beautiful setting for doing some crazy things! Disadvantages: A long way to get to
My family and I took a 10 day holiday around the South Island which is no way near long enough and only allowed us to see a small amount of what was on offer. Although we visited several amazing places I am 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.
The town itself contains everything you would need as a tourist or traveller. Information shops seem to be in every other building and there are plenty of accommodation options for all ...
