Queenstown NZ


I am very fortunate that I live just a short 2 hour drive away from one of the most beautiful places in the world. Queenstown is located in the South Island of New Zealand. It is often known as the "adventurer capital" and is a very popular place to visit. It is a small town with beautiful lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by the lovely Remarkables - which is a popular place to ski in the winter, Celil Peak and Walter Peak - which you can travel to on an old coal fired steam boat called the TSS Earnslaw. 



On the left is when we were driving to Queenstown, sheep being moved on the road - Only in NZ!

On the right is a well known part of the road to queenstown when you are travelling from the south called the "Devils staircase". It is a windy tight road but has amazing views of Lake Wakatipu.

Eat

My favourite place to eat in Queenstown is a cafe' called Vudu cafe. There is actually two of them in queenstown because the first one was so popular! They always have really creative yummy and healthy food and drinks! Definitely my kind of food!
 
Pumpkin roll , vegetarian version of the sausage roll. This had pinenuts in it as well which was super yummy!


Strawberry smoothie - my fav!

Let me know if you've ever been to Queenstown or you would like to visit and want to know more!
I would be more than happy to recommend places to stay or things to do!
