Queenstown Accommodation

Queenstown accommodation comes in many types and there is something to suit your requirements and budget. Queenstown lies on the south island of New Zealand and the region is known as the adventure capital of the world. Here you can get your adrenaline to almost any level you desire by taking part in a multitude of frightening activities including jet boat rides through mountain river chasms, bungy jumping from high bridges or cable cars or skiing and snowboarding at one of the many excellent ski resorts in the area. Queenstown itself is located in a magnificent valley on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and most of the accommodation is located along its shores or in the town centre. Most of the tours and shuttle buses to the snow resorts will pick you up from your accommodation and drop you back at the end of your day.

Queenstown exists for the tourism industry. The area can be used as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Skiing and snowboarding in winter is incredibly popular. Tours to places like Milford Sound are a must and a trip on the lake aboard the steamship Earnslaw is a wonderful experience. The engine room is on full view to the passengers and you can watch the stokers tending the boilers as you head to Walter Peak station for a superb meal. Heliskiing is also popular and you will visit otherwise inaccessible mountains. Helicopter joy rides are also available.

Accommodation in the town centre includes a number of properties operated by the Stella resorts group Accor hotels also have some great choices however there is also plenty of budget accommodation including backpacker hostels. Self contained apartment style accommodation is plentiful and many are located right on the lake front and have spectacular views. If you want a day off from skiing then maybe a days fishing on the lake could be in order. After you days entertainment try the nightlife in Queenstown which is second to none. There are so many great restaurants and cafés. Curl up with a cognac in front of an open fire and indulge yourself. Night clubs and bars are also plentiful for the après ski crowd, just be careful not to overindulge as you don’t want to miss out on the activities the next day in this holiday paradise.
