QUEENSTOWN is nearly two hours south of Auckland by jet, two hours that make a difference. Auckland has palm trees and looks like Fiji. Surrounded by mountains that are often snowy on top, Queenstown looks more like somewhere in Norway or Switzerland.
The town is on a long lake called Lake Wakatipu, which stretches 80 km or 50 miles from Kingston at one end to Glenorchy and Kinloch at the other. Queenstown is part-way between, and is in a large mountain basin which it shares with the smaller but more picturesque town of Arrowtown.
With all its attractions, Queenstown thus lies at the heart of what has been for perhaps a hundred years and more the most touristy part of New Zealand: a landscape of skifields, tramping tracks and amazing mountain scenery.
