Last days of Summer In Queenstown

Now welcoming the wintry weather... dreading the uber cold southerlies coming our way.


This photo is taken at the Queenstown central business district section of the lake Wakatipu.

The summer leaves are fading into golden brown hues signalling the beginning of autumn.

The best time to visit Queenstown is actually in February. Although many people say it is a winter wonderland.

Best winter sports months would be from August to September (though winter actually starts in late June).

Arrowtown

12 minutes from Queenstown CBD, Arrowtown is magic.

Tourists can enjoy the river walks and learn a bit of history about the Chinese gold miners. It is a wonderful step in the past and a rich cultural experience.

After a beautiful stroll, tourists can visit Arrowtown's iconic cafes and enjoy visiting the wonderful small shops showcasing local products.

Renting Accommodation in Queenstown

Queenstown is a must-see place in New Zealand. I would argue that it's the most beautiful place in New Zealand - closest to the rivalling great places to see in the whole south island.

The best time to rent is in Summer. Although of course people push to visit Queenstown in winter because of it's magnificent views and fantastic winter sports and ski fields.

Summer is when the rates are down and there's less traffic. Aside from less traffic, there's an 80% chance you'll get parking in the city. The winter is beautiful but somewhat unbearable for people from warmer climates.

The best places to rent would be around the city center. The other places like Frankton, Sunshine bay and Queenstown East claim they are 5 km from the city but in reality, you'd need a car to get around. If you don't, you'd have to pay $4 per way with the Queenstown bus. It is unreasonably priced especially if you only need it once or twice. If you are a single traveller, you can buy the weekly bus ticket... which is still priced slightly higher than any other nice city in the world.

Kelvin heights is a nice, up-market suburb. It has a barely used golf course and you can use the free wifi in their cafe for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, Kelvin heights would seem like a world away from the city - it's 10 km from the city and you really need a car.

Better rent a place that is furnished. This way, you don't have to bring a bunch of stuff and take them all with you when you leave.
