Places to Visit
Includes all places from beaches and city spots to small country towns and bush spots.
One of the most naturally stunning places I have ever been too. It is extremely peaceful and beautiful to look at ad take in.
Milford Sound / Piopiotahi
T.he cutest place ever. It is full of character and life. Is a must-visit day trip when you are on the South Island of New Zealand.
Arrowtown
My favourite place on earth. Is an absolute must-see in New Zealand, whether you are visiting in winter for ski season or during summer, where there are plenty of water activities.
Queenstown
THE most stunning place. It is a beautiful fitness activity if you rent a car and drive to start the hike at this gorge.
Hokitika Gorge

Places that give a calm and cool vibe for night festivities!
Is a must-do for one night. It is an extremely fun-filled night with lots of music and a peaceful cruise along the lake.
Perky's - Floating Bar Queenstown
Extremely cozy and warm, with its old-fashioned lodge-style interior. You have to try their specialty, the bolognese pizza, it was surprisingly extremely delicious.
The Cow

The BEST iced coffee (Australian and New Zealand style) I have ever had in my life. I have yet to find anything that compares to it.
Mrs Ferg Gelateria
If you are in Queenstown, you MUST try the Fergburger. Just make sure you line up early!
Fergburger
This was a frequent and delicious dessert on our nightly walks around town.
Crepes a la Cart
My family and I had breakfast here basically every morning as their brunch option was highly rated by my family.
Pier
Such a quaint cafe in a gorgeous location.
Hole In One Café
Places to Stay
Picturesque places that suit all price ranges and needs a person wants for unique and restful stay in New Zeland's South Island.
A great place to stay as it is a 5 to 10-minute walk to the main town!
Novotel Queenstown Lakeside
I stayed here on my 5 day stay in Queenstown and it was a beautiful place to stay. Even though it was a 15 to 20-minute walk into the main town, the picturesque lake and serenity made it an enjoyable walk in the summertime!
Peppers Beacon Queenstown
Extremely central location and a great price for the quality and location of the Hostel.
Absoloot Hostel QT
What to Pack for a New Zealand Getaway!
Clothing options and musts that best supported me during my stay. Summer all year round weather!
Is great for layering and to have on when it gets a bit chilly. Having a cosier side and a waterproof side makes it an extremely versatile item of clothing.
