What to do in Queenstown

Frankton Arm Walking Trail

The Frankton Arm Walking Trail is a lovely flat trail just below Lake Life apartment which leads you into Queenstown to the West and to the head of Frankton Arm to the East ( via 'The Boatshed Cafe' or 'Altitude Brewery')

The Queenstown tourist website has a detailed list of all the activities available inside and surrounding Queenstown.

Walking around Queenstown

There are some stunning walking trails around Queenstown accessible for all levels of fitness.  Visit Queenstownnz site for more info.

Ski fields

The closest three are:

• Coronet Peak
• Remarkables
• Cardrona

It is generally cheaper to hire gear in Queenstown itself but hiring on the day at the ski field as a last-minute decision is nice and easy!   If you go to Cardrona, don't forget to go to Cardrona pub.  It is one of New Zealand oldest and most iconic pubs.

Arrowtown

Arrowtown is charming and quirky, a delightful gold rush village nestled beside the sparkling Arrow River and below magnificent peaks. Just 20 minutes from Queenstown Airport, it's the perfect place to stay while you're exploring the region. Arrowtown is a thriving community that is packed with character – as well as some of the best dining and shopping in the country. You’ll be enchanted by the heritage main street and the beautiful walking and biking trails. It's a New Zealand treasure! 

Hire a bike in Arrowtown and ride to the vineyards in Gibbston Valley.  The bike company can pick you up and drive you and your bike home again (just in case you enjoyed too much of the hospitality!!)
