This is a wonderful secret garden located in Cromwell. I highly recommend adding a tour of the orchard and the garden on your way to Queenstown.

From their website:
Visit one of Central Otago's most well known orchards - on the highway from Cromwell to Queenstown

Orchard Tours:

  • Join an orchard tour and pick fruit when in season.
  • From September to May see the splendour of the region's well known range of fresh fruits and berries
  • Large selection of fresh and dry fruits available all year round from our roadside stall
  • Fruit, dried fruit, honey, fruit products and ornamental pinecones can be ordered and sent direct to you.
  • Wander through our beautiful English-style gardens. These are located beside our fruit stall and are free for all to enjoy.

Waitangi Day Queenstown


Queenstown Beach, Great Sun at 6:30pm
With a perfect temperature of 21 degrees C, hoards of holiday makers flocked the Queenstown Beach and Queenstown Park.  Thank goodness newly cut pine trees masked the smell of beer!  Chinese tourists line up with their cameras (one each) walking around central Queenstown in a queue. Pubs and Bars offer cheap beer and no holiday surcharge!

Young people bask in the sun, some in their bikinis, some girls topless, some guys showing their butt cracks.

Great time for families, too - having picnics, kids playing with dogs, grandparents having their walks.
