Unlike most other tourist destinations, New Zealand comes across as more beautiful and pristine. Its natural beauty seems almost untouched and pure. Travellers visiting the country will not find the vast hordes typical of most top worldwide destinations. New Zealand is an exceptional vacation spot which is sure to exceed one’s expectations of a memorable holiday. The country’s solitary nature is the ideal antidote to the crowds and noise found in other popular holiday destinations. New Zealand is a well kept secret only a lucky few get to enjoy.
Visit Queenstown this winter, it will definitely be a vacation to remember. Queenstown is a very popular resort town located in New Zealand’s South Island. The town was built around the Queenstown Bay, a lake in the form of a ‘Z’, and has a reputation for adventure tourism. Tourists can find facilities for everything from bungee jumping and white water rafting to jet skiing and mountain biking here. During the winter months, the list of activities expands to include skiing, snowboarding and plenty of others. Tourists can even rent out snow-mobiles and explore the surrounding countryside.
Those who would prefer not to indulge in winter sports can try exploring the National Parks of Mount Aspiring, or take a walking tour of the arts and crafts galleries. Then of course there is the Queenstown Winter Festival. The festival involves ten days of parades, theatre, live performances, races and street parties. It was held earlier this year, from the end of June to the beginning of July, but there is always next year.
The winter season extends from the 1st of July to the 31st of August, although the skiing season may go on until early October. The temperature typically stays below 10oC, so thick winter clothes are a must. The weather during this season is usually very pleasant, with blue skies on most mornings.
Tourists looking for a luxury hotel Queenstown can try the Millennium Hotel Queenstown. This cosy hotel Queenstown is located on the town’s main road, and is only minutes away from the best shopping and entertainment available. With all the best attractions close at hand, guests will have more time to enjoy their vacation.
