The lake-side city of #Queenstown provides the pulse that keeps this remote corner of the world energetic and youthful. Kiwis have the spirit of adventure running through their veins – become a part of it with a #vacation here.

Experience the beauty of Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw. Soak up the Aotearoa sunshine on a sandy beach or in Queenstown Gardens. Queenstown expands and contracts with the rhythm of the seasons. After the hectic summer, the town transforms into a world-class ski destination. When the snow melts, Queenstown transforms again to accommodate visitors who flock to the Arrow Basin to explore its charming historic towns.

The Kiwis know when it’s time to slow down, unwind and enjoy the finer things in life. Queenstown and the nearby Gibbston Valley are home to over 75 wineries, where vintners produce pinot noirs acclaimed for their purity, freshness and vitality, a perfect reflection of the region itself!

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
