ADVENTURE CAPITAL OF THE SOUTH SEAS

“If you can’t do it in Queenstown, it hasn’t been invented.” Popular saying.

The holiday destination of Queenstown is a New Zealand success story. The lakeside town is recognized as one of the world’s top alpine resorts and is rapidly growing into the status of a city. It was named ‘Queenstown’ because the early European arrivals to the district decided it was a place ‘fit for Queen Victoria’.

In 2013, close to two million visitors enjoyed the delights of this amazing resort resulting in Queenstown’s airport being the third busiest airport in New Zealand with frequent direct flights to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch as well as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Australia.
