Queenstown and related destinations

Adrenaline junkies find their spiritual home in this lakeside playground where bungee jumping was practically invented. The Skyline Gondola delivers you to panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu and the jagged Remarkables mountain range. Jet boats slice through impossibly narrow canyons while skiers carve nearby slopes in winter. The compact town centre buzzes with cafes and outdoor outfitters surrounding Queenstown Mall. For quieter moments, wander through Queenstown Gardens or spot native birds at the Kiwi and Birdlife Park. The casino offers entertainment without the natural thrills, though locals might suggest you're better off sipping pinot noir at a local winery. Come summer, the beach becomes a perfect launchpad for lake adventures beneath Ben Lomond's watchful peak.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ owing to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so a degree of flexibility with your dates could help you save on your Queenstown hotel stay. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is higher or lower than average and may suggest more affordable dates to help you potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, yet thanks to Queenstown's excellent public transport links, you could discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations might offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
