Queenstown City Centre buzzes with adventure tourism booking offices, bars, and restaurants. The lakefront promenade along Lake Wakatipu offers stunning mountain views and peaceful walking paths. Adrenaline junkies book everything from bungee jumping to jet boating, while others enjoy the Queenstown Gardens or take the Skyline Gondola up to Bob's Peak for panoramic alpine vistas.
The compact downtown is easily walkable with most attractions just minutes apart. From backpacker cafes to fine dining spots serving local lamb and seafood, the food scene caters to all budgets. Hotels range from luxury lodges to hostels, with most offering those picture-perfect mountain or lake views everyone comes for.
Perched on the hillside above Queenstown, Fernhill offers travelers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains.

Walking trails start right from your doorstep, connecting you to the popular Ben Lomond Track for more adventurous hikes.
You'll need to venture into downtown Queenstown for dining and shopping, just a short drive down the hill. Most accommodations feature upscale vacation rentals with gourmet kitchens and premium amenities like private hot tubs. The steep terrain means having a car is your best bet for getting around.

Most visitors stay in vacation rentals with jaw-dropping views and self-catering kitchens. You'll need wheels to reach Queenstown's restaurants and shops just 10-15 minutes away. The neighborhood's charm lies in its quiet residential vibe and natural beauty rather than tourist attractions or nightlife.
Goldfield Heights offers a serene escape with spectacular views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains. The residential neighborhood connects to the popular Queenstown Hill Time Walk, where native beech forests and alpine trails reward hikers with panoramic vistas. This upscale retreat feels worlds away from downtown bustle yet sits just a 15-minute stroll from Queenstown's attractions.
Luxury vacation rentals with floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the accommodation scene here. While you won't find restaurants or shops within the neighborhood, downtown Queenstown's dining and retail options are easily accessible by car or rideshare. The steep terrain means a car is handy but not essential for travelers who enjoy scenic walks.
