It was amazing to wake up in the morning briefing so light and easy, and without a headache. My melatonin working on its own. My body just ...

Lovely little town. Good access to Routeburn track.

A delightful spot alone at the end of a stunning drive. Gorgeous views, delicious food (kids menu too), comfy beds across a variety of room types and all affordable, even for backpackers. Kitchen available for guests to use but only a small shop to buy food. Fantastic hot tub up the back of the property, perfect for starry nights. Kayaks for use in summer. Bikes and fishing rods for hire all year. Tree house on the beach. Tons of activities in the area, especially walks. #KidsFun #NewZealand #ThingsToDoInNewZealand

The drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy is by far my most favourite drive I've ever done, and it's gonna be really hard to beat that. We were so lucky to visit Queenstown and Glenorchy in the middle of winter (June 2013, minus or 0 during the day, as crisp as you'd want your perfect winter to be) and have this absolute clear day with cracking blue skies. The windy roads lead you through stunning green valleys, contrasted by clear blue lakes, majestic mountains topped with a crisp blanket of snow.

The drive down Skippers Canyon Road was the most beautiful and scary drive I've ever taken. The road was hand built by gold miners in the late 1800s. #skipperscanyonroad #newzealand #scenicdrives #bucketlist #drives
