queenstown activities
Pre European Maori came through the Wakatipu in search of pounamu (greenstone) and to hunt the Moa (large pre-historic bird). Gold in the Shotover River was the first draw card for European settlers in 1862.
High country farming of merino sheep, deer and cattle have been significant since the early days, and over 50 years ago skiing at nearby Coronet Peak was first commenced. More recently film location scouts have discovered these unspoilt backdrops as superb locations for the film industry. The huge box-office hit Lord of the Rings owes much to this dramatic scenery, some of the best the world has to offer.
A walk of a few minutes from Brunswick Lodge finds over one hundred restaurants and cafes creating dishes made from the freshest seasonal New Zealand produce. Local wines from the burgeoning vineyards in the area all add up to the superb pacific rim cuisine found in Queenstown.
Also nearby is a fantastic range of shops open till late, specialising in innovative ideas offering designer clothing, accessories, jewellery, and the finest technical outdoor clothing and equipment.
Nearby are easily accessible ski fields, and for adrenaline junkies there is white water rafting, bungy jumping, parapenting, sky diving and jet boating up shallow river canyons. There is also excellent fly fishing in crystal clear waters, vineyard tours, tramping and 4WDing in our famous wilderness national parks, and a great selection of championship golf courses.

For a carefree holiday when all you have to do is arrive and relax, call Jacqui Spice and her team from Touch of Spice, www.touchofspice.co.nz. Touch of Spice can assist you with any requests you may have and any arrangements you made need.
From booking your car hire, some well deserved time at the spa, selecting your restaurants, organizing you a nanny, or putting together a specialized golf package. Maybe it's the adventure of Queenstown you are coming here for – like the Kawarau Bungy Jump, the Canyon Swing, some off road mountain biking, or you like to leap out of planes. For the more cultural visit you can take a helicopter ride to a vineyard for some wine tasting, fly over to an art gallery to view some local talent, and then have a champagne lunch at the top of The Remarkables while soaking up the view.
Touch of Spice can also arrange your food shopping, find you a personal chef or have prepared meals delivered to your door. If you have a special event to celebrate or would like to surprise a loved one, Jacqui and her team would love to take care of it for you.
