Hotels in Queenstown - Prices and Reviews

Will update later just goona add videos of our bungy jumps just now. Awesome time had by both of us and highly reccomend it to anyone in NZ. I can only but apoligise for the course language you may hear watching these videos but under the circumstances i do believe we should be forgiven. Hope you enjoy and let us know what you think.

So h...

As part of my Queenstown trip, (New Zealand, South Island) it had been recommended to me by my fellow travellers to go and do something really exciting, something that I'd remember for the rest of my life. If I couldn't find something to fulfill all those requirements in Queenstown then apparently I wouldn't find it anywhere. And so the challeng...

Our initial impression of queenstown was that it was the traffic capital as well as the adventure capital. Our impression was not helped by the fact that our targeted camper park had been demolished leaving us with our only option being a very crowded holiday park that was basically a parking lot for 150 campervans, a kitchen bathroom complex an...

I rolled into Queenstown a few days ago, and it is in a word, amazing. I feel like I'm running out of adjectives to describe places and scenery, but I think Queenstown is the most beautiful place I've seen so far in my time here. The bus ride down was long but visually stunning, as we passed Mount Cook and the glacial lakes that shine a turquois...

How did this happen? Only a few hours drive from Milford Sound and we were in Queenstown surrounded by young, cool, dreadlocked outdoorsy types who give this place its reputation as a party town. Nothing wrong with that but I really needed some quiet time to think things through and slowly wind myself into a panic before doing this stupid jump t...

I picked today as a day to get hang out around Q-town. Got up fairly early and found the start of the Skyline Drive up to the top of Bob's Peak. It's basically a private access gravel road for the Skyline gondola, luge, and tourist center that sits atop Bob's Peak directly behind Q-town. Anyways, it was quite a hike up to the top with a few dece...

Well, yesterday was an awesome day, full of amazing scenery and yet more sea kayaking. Today has been distinctly rubbish. Lets talk about yesterday in Te Anau. It was another early morning start. After having to switch rooms, which wasn't a hassle, I had been allocated a room all to myself, which was great. I woke up about 6:30am. I opened the c...

When I cast my mind back over the many months that precede us and sift loosely among the abundant adventure-packed times that New Zealand has provided so far, it really is surprising just how many firsts have been enjoyed here: scuba diving, bungy jumping, sea-kayaking, jet-boating, horse riding, skydiving. Even the rare and timeless encounters ...

Queenstown, the Sun Valley of New Zealand. An old gold miners turned tourist town where you can find Haute Couture to mountain climbing gear. Queenstown is the adventure capital of NZ. Paragliding, jet boating, kayaking, bungee jumping, its all here. We arrived in town around noon and checked into the Top Ten Holiday Park. Jim was here 5 years a...

The Canyon Swing was so much fun that I decided I had to do a bungee jump. You can't come to New Zealand and not do a bungee jump. At 134m the Nevis bungee is the highest in Australasia. To achieve this height you don't jump off a bridge but from a gondola suspended on cables over the Nevis valley. A cable car takes you out to the gondola. Being...
