QUEENSTOWN

Imagine yourself breathing fresh mountain air just seconds after stepping off a plane, driving a quick 10 minutes into a picturesque, pedestrian friendly town and finding yourself with an endless amount of outdoor activities to pursue, wine to drink and panoramic views to take in. Yes, this place is real. It’s called Queenstown. Allow me to be your guide to this South Island town.

Queenstown

H|B Inspiration Tidbits:

Taste | New Zealand wines at The Winery to begin to grasp the region’s variety of wines before venturing off on a private tour to a few of the South Island’s many vineyards

Hike | for a little over an hour to the “Basket of Dreams” at the top of the Queenstown Hill Walkway and enjoy a picnic overlooking the lake, the Remarkables, Cecil Peak and beyond

Soar | and spin down Shotover River via jet boat on a thrilling experience with Shotover Jet. If you find yourself just milliseconds from crashing into the towering cliffs, stay calm and remember that William and Kate survived and so will you

Ride | in a private helicopter to the stunning Milford Sound

Combine with | a trip around the South Island, Auckland and the North Island, Fiji or Australia

On a personal note | Watch me tackle the Nevis bungy jump here, explore New Zealand and Australia with my husband here and read more about my time in Queenstown here.
