10 Nightlife in Queenstown That You Shouldn't Miss

February 17, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Staggering beauty and heart-pumping thrills await in the resort town of Queenstown, which is also known for its Hobbits—much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Queenstown for the kayaking, bungee jumping, jetboating, white-water rafting, hiking and skiing. More mild-mannered adventurers can take a quiet cruise through nearby Milford Sound, part of the Fjordland National Park World Heritage area, or sample South Island pinot noir from one of the region's 75 wineries.

Wonderful and friendly staff that had gone out of their way to gift-wrap a present my mom purchased from the shop for my mother in law - free of charge. The shop has beautiful decor with amazing jewellery, homewares, art, and clothing/accessories (which, I for one, would indefinitely visit again when I venture back to Queenstown). Overall, the shop is aesthetically pleasing with great presentation and organisation. The staff were attentive, kind, and super helpful. Thank you so much to the staff as we really appreciated the kind gesture, kia kaha.

Be absorbed into a world crafted purely of ICE architecture! Everything from the walls and furniture, to the bar and intricately hand carved statues are all made from crystal clear ICE.

Had the best time here and great for photos. I didn’t have a booking so I rang up and the friendly staff said I could go in the next session that was happening in 10minutes. Great time, ice sculptures were amazing and the cocktail was lovely. Awesome how it’s included in the entry price and better value than their competition. They gave a warm jacket, boots and gloves to wear. Just a suggestion maybe alternate bar staff at the bar so people can buy extra drinks which will be better for your business :-) I’m going back again :-)
