New Zealand Accommodation

Queenstown and Wanaka have an ability to captivate travellers on two levels. Firstly, with their extraordinarily scenic location in the Southern Alps; secondly, with the incredible array of adventure activities on offer. In many places around the region you will see evidence of the gold rush and the gold miners' years of toil in an unforgiving environment. Most people who venture into this corner of the world go the extra distance to visit Fiordland National Park. Over millions of years glaciers carved the most southern portion of the West Coast into 14 fiords. Most are accessible by water, but you can drive to Milford Sound along a stunningly scenic road. Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri were also created by glacial action during the last ice ages; the towns on their shores are popular bases for travellers. Central Otago is home to stone fruit such as apricots and peaches. This part of New Zealand has some of the finest water and winter sport facilities in the country.
