Location . About the Region
From its pioneering beginnings as a gold mining settlement in the 1860s, the Queenstown area has always attracted those looking for adventure, excitement, relaxation and escape amidst the breath -taking natural beauty of mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers.
Queenstown has long recognized as the adventure capital of the world, attracting adventure lovers from all walks of life to come and play. The emergence of the high-octane industry has seen Queenstown achieve international recognition as one of the world’s leading mountain resort towns providing world class skiing, mountain-biking, white-water rafting, fishing and golf. Queenstown caters to a seasonally swelling population of residents and tourists alike.
But the attraction of the region is not restricted to those seeking thrills and spills. Increasingly the area is attracting attention from those wanting privacy, tranquillity, contrast to and respite from the pressures of global living. World class golf and fishing are within minutes of your door. Day spas, massage treatments, and natural therapies are thriving boutique industries in the picturesque mountain environment where equal value is placed on preserving the heritage and wilderness elements of the region at the same time as developing the tourism, leisure and adventure attractions of the area.
In recent years, the region has received international acclaim for its grape growing capacity and for producing fine wines, most notably the Pinot Noir for which the area is winning awards on the world stage. Wines can be sampled from each of the many burgeoning boutique wineries throughout the region.
