About a 45min drive from Queenstown, a beautiful lake near Wanaka that I could sit and look at for hours! Very likely you will be able to sit alone too.

Central Otago has more than its fair share of wineries where you can enjoy tastings and/or a great meal among some of New Zealand’s finest scenery.

One of my favourites is the Amisfield Winery which is halfway between Queenstown and Arrowtown on the shores of Lake Hayes. It’s a fantastic place for a relaxed lunch or dinner with a great outdoor terrace (weather permitting). If they’ve got any left, try their rose but I’m afraid I may have drunk it all on my last visit.

NZ Walks organise a variety of guided walks at various levels of difficulty. We did the 10 mile Mt. Aspiring National Park walk in a very small group with an excellent guide who carried our lunch! Pick up from various hotels in Queenstown.

From Queenstown we flew on a Cessna 207 over the mountains to Milford Sound, cruised on the sound and then flew back again. The scenery from the plane was breathtaking and all round a much more exciting way to visit Milford than the long drive from Queenstown.

Loads of companies do it, just ask at the tourist info office in Queenstown.
