There’s no doubt Queenstown is an absolute stunner all year round, but when it comes
to winter - that’s when she pulls out all the stops. With the ski slopes on your doorstep
and scenery that people travel from all around the world to see,
this central South Island city is a nature lover’s paradise.
As far as ‘cities’ go, Queenstown is a pretty small one - with only around 16,000 permanent residents.
But with visitors (national and international) stopping by all year round, it always feels a lot busier than that.
And because it is such a tourist hub, those who live there get to benefit from world-class eateries, attractions and events.
Nearby are the absolutely picturesque towns of Wanaka and Arrowtown, glorious vineyards and stunning lakes,
all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Southern Alps.
Living here is practically like being on holiday permanently.
