Queenstown

Early in the morning, we departed from Christchurch to Queenstown. A very short flight, which took only 30-40mins. A lot of time saved, as a bus would have taken approximately 6-7hours.

Once we got off the airplane, we were immediately greeted by a welcoming scenery, the backdrop is really nice. We got really excited and were definitely looking forward to the rest of the town.

It was really convenient getting into the town, shuttles, taxi and buses were located just outside the terminal. We opt for the bus option as it was the most economically and it stops directly at our motel. For those who are interested, http://www.connectabus.com/.

Our accommodation at Queenstown was wonderful! The room was clean, comfortable and thoughtful with heaters on the bed. The receptionist was very friendly too. A short distance to the city centre, about a 15mins walk. http://www.hurleys.co.nz/

Upon arrival, we immediately got ready to start our time in Queenstown. We had booked with Dart river jet Safaris for a day . Our Wilderness safaris included a jet boating, forest walk and 4WD. It was fantastic! http://www.dartriver.co.nz
