Queenstown Paradise of the South Island.

One of the most sought after destinations when visiting New Zealand. Queenstown is situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Wakaitipu and the near by Remarkable Mountains. It is truly a place you have to visit.

The lake is the third largest in New Zealand being 80 km long and covering 293 km. It averages 300m deep for over half it's length it's temperature ranges from 8 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius. A number of high country rivers and streams run into the lake making this an excellent fishery for Quinnat Salmon, Brown and Rainbow Trout. Within a two hour drive you can access most other lakes and rivers in the area, for some fantastic fly fishing.

The town of Queenstown also offers lots of other things to do for those non fishing partners. Winery tours, golf, restaurants, so many to wine and dine in. Gardens to walk in or a boat ride on T.S.S.Earnslaw across the lake to Walter Peak, a high country sheep station where you can dine, relax and take in the majestic scenery. You won't be disappointed, also lots of shops to look at, to take something back for the family.
