Queenstown, New Zealand
Sensational
in any season
The first people to discover Queenstown's rare beauty
were Maori pounamu (jade) hunters. Then came the gold miners, in search
of another kind of treasure. Today Queenstown is treasured for its magnificent
scenery, adventure opportunities and luxury lifestyle.
Long summer days blonde the tussocks, throwing the hills
open to mountain bikers and hikers. The brilliant reds and golds of autumn
colour the trees, inspiring photographers and golfers alike. In winter,
snow transforms the region into a remarkable alpine playground for skiers
and snowboarders. Spring brings the spark of fresh green to the landscape
– a time to celebrate life with a cruise on the lake or an invigorating
bungy jump.
In any season, you can count on stylish accommodation,
designer shopping and marvellous cuisine experiences. Queenstown's compact
downtown area is a cosmopolitan hub that's relaxed during the day and
huge fun at night.

| Situated
between Queenstown and Glenorchy on the shores of Lake
Wakatipu, the Lodge at Blanket Bay promises to be one
of your most memorable holiday experiences. Dine by
firelight on the terrace as the day fades behind the
Humboldt Range, then study the stars in an ink black
sky. |
