We've just come back from 5 days in Queenstown.
We had the best time exploring the town and surrounding areas and having fun with some thrill seeking adventures. We stayed in The Rees Hotel a few minutes out of town which had amazing views over the lake and mountains. It was stunning to wake up and see snow on the top of the mountains.
We enjoyed the crisp, chilly weather. It was a nice change from the endless Sydney heat and humidity.
One day we drove to Arrowtown and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and quaint little town.
The leaves and foliage everywhere were stunning! The autumn colours were so beautiful.
The boys loved the cutest sweet shop with delicious fudge.
We then continued on to Cardrona and had lunch in front of the fire at the pub.
Another day we took the Queenstown gondola up to the top of the mountain so the boys could ride the luge. The views up the top were stunning! The boys loved the luge and had so much fun dodging everyone and seeing how fast they could go.
The Shotover Jet was another adventure on our list that we ticked off. High speeds and spins on the river really got our hearts pumping. Highly recommend!
On our last day we drove to Glenorchy which was another stunning drive. The little town was so pretty and was a perfect end to our trip and our appreciation of New Zealand and all it's amazing scenery.
It was so lovely to have this time together exploring a new place x
