About Queenstown

Queenstown is a growing alpine resort town set alongside the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Boasting world-class skiing on any number of fields during the winter months, Queenstown is surrounded by picture postcard views at every step.

Enjoy the village atmosphere of the attractive town with its roaring fires and outstanding cuisine and nightlife, or take a day trip to Wanaka or Arrowtown and sample the best of local wine and fresh produce.

This is a town that is packed with adventure too. Take a jetboat ride on the Shotover, go white water rafting or jump off a bridge (with a bungy attached of course). Then return to relax in the luxury of your Heritage Queenstown Hotel.
