Indoor Curling Rink

Indoor Curling is a lot easier than you may think! Bring your friends and family and come along to the only dedicated indoor curling rink in the Southern Hemisphere! Rink is heated - but have a warm top. Options for all ages/abilities. Lounge/bar - viewing area. Flat shoes (runners) ie :no jandals/sandals/heels. Great fun for all!

This is such a fun activity especially if you are with a group doing the Otago Rail Trail...They give you full instructions and then you can experience a fun game...would highly recommend it especially for groups.

Real Dog Adventures NZ

Reviewed By Hayden2222 - Auckland, New Zealand

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the kennel tour experience. Nigel and Rose were extremely friendly and very informative. This is definitely an experience you wont want to miss out on, and is so much more than just getting to see and pet the dogs, we left with a real appreciation for the work these dogs do, and the work that has gone into training them. We drove from Queenstown to visit and definitely think it was worth the journey!

We had a blast going in to pick cherries at this PYO orchard! Prices got explained by a lovely staff member at the start then we were taken in and shown how to actually pick a cherry which was very helpful. Found some lovely cherries and picked light and dark ones! Overall it was such a nice experience being able to pick your own fruit, will definitely be back next year! ????
