Why Queenstown?
New Zealand's adventure capital and #1 year round holiday resort destination needs little introduction to most people - no other ski town in Australasia comes close to offering the range of activities, nightlife, restaurants and shopping you enjoy here. Best of all, it’s only just over three hours direct flight from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne (but be quick for these - they sell out fast). A lot of our accommodation in Queenstown is close to the centre, so you can stroll to the action, while shuttle bus services (some free supplied by hotels, or the cheap Shopper Shuttle) connect most of the rest. Many leading activities include transport. Self drive or use mountain shuttle services to ski at your choice of the nearby mountains: Coronet Peak under 30 minutes away, The Remarkables 45 minutes away and Treble Cone or Cardrona around 90 minutes away (subject to road, weather and traffic conditions). When you don’t feel like skiing your other activity opportunities are virtually unlimited and our flexible pass options let you opt for an activity instead of skiing whenever you feel like it.
