Did you know that Queenstown New Zealand isn’t just for extreme activities and snow sports. -although these are incredible, this week’s episode is all about what to do in Queenstown if you don’t ski or just want to enjoy exploring this unique part of New Zealand. For such a small town, Queenstown punches way above its weight. The views from all over the town are stunning. It doesn’t matter where you choose to have a coffee, wine or meal on the waterfront – you will be experiencing one of the most beautiful places in the world. Lake Wakatipu is the jewel in the middle of Queenstown, surrounded by snowcapped mountain ranges, including the Remarkables where Lord of the Rings was filmed. We tell you all about the water activities you can do or simply watch including submersible sharks, jet boats and an iconic steam boat that is as old as the Titanic. If you are into shopping the brand names here rival the stores in Paris, from Gucci to Rolex. We tell you about the unique wine tasting experience that we enjoyed and have never come across before and where we found the coolest toilets in town. Seriously. Come with us as we take you wandering around the Botanic gardens on the edge of town. From duck ponds, to gigantic pine trees to an unusual sport that we discovered here. We tell you the cheap way to explore the lake – how to get to the sunniest spot in town and then stay listening as Lyle tells us how I made him kiss a large kiwi.
