Rugged snow-capped mountains, grassy plains and clear alpine lakes surround the vibrant cosmopolitan city of Queenstown in New Zealand’s south island. Known as the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown is a nature-lover’s paradise of fresh mountain air with lots of invigorating walks and beautiful vistas. Just 15 minutes away lies Arrowtown, the historic heart of the area with a rich mining past, teacups of old-world charm and plentiful gourmet dining delights.

Groupon Recommends

As the historic area of greater Queenstown, Arrowtown has plenty of sights to keep travellers busy. The former mining village has several walking trails where relics of the past like Chinese gold mining huts can be seen. Old-world shops like Patagonia Chocolates and Remarkable Sweets stand alongside cafes, gastro-pubs and bistros, including the Conde Nast Traveller World Top 100 Restaurant Saffron.



Should peeps be in the area to ski, they can find four snow resorts at easy access. After hitting the slopes peeps will find respite back in Arrowtown where they can relax in front of an open fire. Even more adrenalin-fuelled activities include bungy jumping, exciting jet boat rides, mountaineering or horseback riding. Those who would rather just see awe-inspiring natural landmarks visit Lake Wakatipu or admire the view from Bob’s Peak. 

Wineries are also available in abundance and the cold climate drops are well worth tasting. Groupies can take a wine trail tour, head to a vineyard restaurant or simply purchase a bottle to be enjoyed in the comfort of their dwellings. Peeps interested in a spot of shopping can pick up local knitwear, Jade, bone carvings and other traditional New Zealand trinkets.

Reviews

An exceptional experience in every way. They provided a very high level of friendly personal service without being intrusive in any way (perfectly balance). The quality and detail from the service to the facilities exceeded expectation in every way. The food was without question an experience in its self.

I can not fault this place! To start with we had a garden room with the full package which I have to say was worth every cent. Afternoon drinks and nibbles were met with eager anticipation every day as Jeanette could give any chef a run for their money - the food was outstanding
