Queenstown is located in the South Island on Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand. There is so much to see and do in the area, such as explore the beautiful mountain ranges, valleys, lakes. We ended up renting a car for our time in Queenstown as there was so much to see! We booked a car from Snap Rentals because they had the best rates and the KM was limitless!! From the airport to town it is about a 15 minute drive, so once you arrive into town, be sure to drop off your bags and go out and explore.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING Q U E E N S T O W N 

  • The local currency is the New Zealand Dollar. 
  • Fuel is super expensive.
  • Woolworths is called Countdown.
  • You don't need to tip. 
  • Sheep. Lots of sheep.

Holiday House: Frankton 984 Frankton Road, is were we stayed. A holiday house, which I must say would have to be the best decision. Who doesn't love a whole house, especially when your sharing with family and it also has the best view of Lake Wakatipu!! 

Azur Lodge: An apartment-style accommodation, great choice for couples.

 I loved Queenstown, it is an incredibly beautiful place that i'd love to visit again. It is my new travel destination love. It is the prettiest, most delightful and exciting spot. The snow-capped mountains reminded me of Switzerland and on the ground , the buildings and the whole vibe of Queenstown reminded me of many European towns. Everywhere you turn there is something so spectacular off into the distance it is hard to know where to turn next, and it is for this reason that i felt such peace and so still, patient, happy and relaxed. Queenstown is not only a delight to your taste buds as much as it is to your eyes! I honestly can't wait to go back to the place that has kind of stole my heart.
