Queenstown

Queenstown is the kind of place that makes every group chat jealous. One minute you’re sipping pinot noir by the lake, the next you’re flying down mountain trails, chasing slopes or booking “just one more” adventure.

Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by dramatic alpine scenery, Queenstown delivers year-round energy with a laid-back edge. Think ski trips in winter, lake days in summer, vineyard hopping in autumn and crisp mountain mornings that somehow make coffee taste even better.

Whether you’re here for adrenaline, relaxation or a little bit of both, there’s plenty to explore. Wander through buzzing laneways lined with restaurants and bars, ride the Skyline Gondola for unreal views or escape to nearby wineries and walking trails when it’s time to slow things down.

And when it comes to finding your base? Avani Queenstown Hotel puts you right where you want to be, close to the lake, close to the action and designed for modern travellers who like their stays stylish, social and easy.
