Trips to Queenstown NZ

Queenstown is undeniably New Zealand’s premier destination for overseas tourists. Why wouldn’t people travel from the other side of the world to experience the sights and sounds of Queenstown? In 2000, Queenstown became the first NZ destination to host over a million visitors in a 12 month period.

Accommodation is naturally seen as the no.1 priority when it comes to catering for international adventure seekers. There’s certainly no shortage of accommodation in Queenstown but during the high season in particular, many of the hotels and motels Queenstown provides are booked up quickly.

There are over 11,000 beds for visitors in this South Island town. There is a lot of motels which contribute to this number, plus there are also six international hotel chains, luxury lodges and resorts, bed and breakfasts, farms and home stays, backpacker hostels and camping grounds.

Queenstown is a small and compact place, but with over 100 cafes and restaurants and a wide range of night clubs, taverns and wine bars, it can hardly be considered small. It often features in some of the world’s glossy travel magazines as a world class destination, yet despite all of the commercial development and international attention, Queenstown has maintained its friendly, small-town appeal.

The majority of them are conveniently located just a few blocks off the town centre. They are excellent for travellers looking for short-term, self-catering accommodation. No matter what choice you make on accommodation, you can rest assured that the hundreds of activities and attractions on offer are right at your door step.
