Queenstown is a premier tourism destination – with rugged mountains, majestic lakes, crystal clear air, and many exciting adventures to be had. ASPAC2010 finishes here – why not extend your stay to enjoy what Queenstown has to offer?

Queenstown is famous for its thrills – from bungy jumping to jet boating, sky diving and offroad four wheel drive adventures. But it’s the scenery that these thrill-seeking endeavours are set amongst that makes it a very, very special place. You won’t be surprised that Queenstown is often used as a filmmaking destination – the pristine, natural grandeur that surrounds the town truly takes your breath away.

The downtown shopping area is compact and sophisticated, set into the bay of a beautiful lake. Steep mountains, rising straight from the lake edge, are reflected in the water on clear days.

Cafes, bars and and buzzing nightlife keep the town centre hopping after dark. Close by, vineyards and wineries offer special experiences, from fine dining to wine tasting. The Queenstown area, along with the rest of Central Otago, has become well-known for the fine wine produced there, Pinot Noir to Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay.
