QUEENSTOWN

Tourism has been the backbone of this picturesque part of the country for many years and will continue to be for many more to come. Now is the time to experience Totally Tourism’s The Helicopter Line which operates scenic flights around this part of the country in Queenstown, Mount Cook, the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, plus heli-skiing, while Altitude Tours and BLACK ZQN specialise in bespoke sightseeing tours, offering private charters and luxury experiences for those wanting a world-class experience in their own backyard. The best place to stay is the 5-star hotel, The Rees on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, offering a variety of hotel rooms, apartments and private lakeside residences. With spectacular views across the lake, the much-awarded hotel has some of the very best food and wine experiences. Best time to visit is now.
