QUEENSTOWN

Queenstown is the adventure capital of the world.  This is where bungy was invented.  From here you can access the Milford Sounds, jet boat up rivers into the back country, cruise around the lakes, fish for trout or salmon, pan for gold, parapente off the mountain and of course ski in winter.

Queenstown is on the northern shore of Lake Wakatipu, with the towering Remarkables Range as a backdrop.

There are a number of ski fields in the area, the best known of which are Coronet Peak, the Remarkables and Cardrona.

Nearby is Arrowtown, a golf mining town from yesteryear that has been restored to reflect the past.

The two main rivers, used for rafting and jetboating are the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers.

Around Queenstown are a number of golf courses, some outstanding and all different. 

The resort golf course is Millbrook Resort - great golf and a great place to stay.  The course is undulating with every hole presenting a different golfing challenge.  It is long but with generous fairways.

Nearby is the Queentown Golf Club's Kelvin Heights golf course.  This is bounded on three sides by the lake, with the Remarkables Range as a backdrop.  The course is undulating and well maintained giving a good test of golf with absolutely stunning vies.

In the vicinity are a number of others, Arrowtown being unique as you play amongst the rocky outcrops.

From Queenstown you can easily access Milford Sounds - words cannot describe the experience and pictures do not do it justice.   You can also jetboat into the "Lord of the Rings" territory, unspoilt and spectacular.

Around Queenstown are small wine regions which produce unique and good quality wines.  These wineries are well worth a visit.

You can experience the uniqueness of this region when you take your ExtravagaNZa golf tour through to Queenstown.
