Queenstown

omg.. 10/10 experience. i did the Nevis Swing w my partner and we did forwards - truly jawdropping and the G is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before - we do a lot of thrilling activities. do note that the pickup location is in town area and you will be transported on a 4WD bus to go up the mountain - around 40min drive. staff were very friendly and i suggest you cater about 4 hours for this experience in case of bad winds or bad weather. we almost couldn’t swing due to the major winds but thankfully we waited it out! had to reschedule our other later appointment but alls good. highly recommend!!!!

everything was so amazing ! from booking to actual day ! i was soo happy !! one of the greatest experience of my life !! the staffs are all so lovely and friendly too

The hotel is extradinaroty comfortable! I love the tube, which is the best of best for our trip! Hot tube before sleep is great!

Pinewood Lodge and Apartments in Queenstown is a relaxed, budget-friendly spot that suits backpackers, families, and groups alike. The setup is more like a village, with different lodges and apartments spread across leafy grounds. Rooms are basic but comfortable, and you can choose from dorms, private units, or self-contained apartments depending on your needs. Shared kitchens and lounges make it easy to cook and meet other travelers, while the location is just a short walk from town. It’s not luxury, but it’s practical, social, and affordable—ideal if you want a base close to Queenstown’s action without breaking the bank.

really enjoyed the laundry facilities, heated towel rack as well as daily servicing was so close to the airport the showers hot water was instantaneous no waiting which was amazing with the winter season

Klook booking and and all is excellent, however will review the hotel that we were check-in late, instead of 2PM, the room is not yet ready at 2:30PM, which I find off and also the bath tab has stains which is discouraging to use.

great hotel for price and location. facilities are very clean.

The bed is very soft, and you sink right into it. Breakfast options are limited, but you can make your own waffles and juice. The accommodation isn't in the busiest area, but there are supermarkets, parking lots, restaurants, and a laundromat nearby. Driving to the most lively area takes about 15 minutes.

Our recent road trip from Queenstown to Christchurch was nothing short of spectacular. This journey is a masterclass in NZ’s natural beauty, offering landscapes that feel pulled straight from a movie set. Leaving Queenstown, the drive through the tussock-clad Lindis Pass is hauntingly beautiful. We made a quick stop in Omarama—before the scenery shifted into the dramatic Mackenzie Country. Lake Pukaki & Mt Cook: Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of Lake Pukaki. The water is an impossibly bright, milky turquoise. Following the shoreline toward Aoraki/Mt Cook was the highlight; seeing the snow-capped peak of NZ highest mountain reflected in the water is a memory I’ll keep forever. Lake Tekapo: A stop at the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd is essential. The contrast of the stone chapel against the vibrant blue lake is stunning. The final stretch through the Canterbury Plains into Christchurch offered a peaceful transition from the rugged alps to the "Garden City."
