Queenstown could be called one of New Zealand’s best-kept open secrets; it’s a picturesque resort town between Lake Wakatipu and several mountains, including Ben Lomond. The Remarkables is a major attraction in the area, being a sustainable and majestic ski destination popular for beginners and champion athletes. Lake Wakatipu is a great spot for majestic lake cruises in the winter and summer. Moreover, the areas around Queenstown were also the shot locations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, so make sure to set-jet your way through Middle Earth via tours.
