Queenstown

The main trail centre and starting point of the Queenstown Trail

As the Wakatipu Basin’s cosmopolitan hub, Queenstown makes a perfect home base for everyone from backpackers to five star visitors alike. Apart from being one of the most breathtaking locations in New Zealand, Queenstown is renowned for its award-winning food and wines, adrenaline-pumping activities and its way of energising even the most jaded visitor!

Set amongst spectacular mountains on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, there’s a picture postcard around every corner – and a gourmet food and wine experience behind every door.

Queenstown’s a cycle-friendly town with cycle transport and tour operators all keen to help you make the most of the Queenstown Trail.

When you’re done with adrenaline pumping, meander through boutiques, delis and galleries in the main shopping centre.
