Top 5: Queenstown

Earnslaw
Earnslaw Cruise

Only a 20-minute drive from Mt Rosa Lodge, Queenstown is packed with experiences for every kind of traveller. Whether you're chasing adrenaline or just looking to soak in some world-class views (ideally with a glass of Pinot in hand), here are our top 5 recommendations:


1. Ride the Skyline Gondola & Luge

Get the best panoramic views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu by taking the Skyline Gondola up Bob’s Peak. Once you're at the top, race down the gravity-powered luge tracks or simply enjoy a coffee with a view that’s hard to beat.


2. Take a Wine Tour Through the Region

Queenstown sits on the edge of one of the world’s southernmost wine regions—Central Otago. Spend a day sipping your way through boutique cellar doors in the area, including our very own La Bella Rosa Pinot Noir here at Mt Rosa Lodge. We’re happy to help you arrange a personalised wine trail.


3. Visit the Remarkables Market (Seasonal)

If you’re in Queenstown on a Saturday (between October and April), stop by the Remarkables Market. Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, it’s a relaxed spot to browse local produce, crafts, artisan food, and enjoy live music with a coffee or fresh pastry in hand.


4. Cruise Lake Wakatipu

For a relaxing way to take in the landscape, hop on a lake cruise. The vintage TSS Earnslaw steamship is a favourite, taking you across the water to Walter Peak Station where you can enjoy a gourmet BBQ lunch.


5. Get Your Adrenaline Fix

Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand, so if you’re feeling bold, try bungee jumping, skydiving, jet boating, or paragliding. Even if you skip the adrenaline rush, watching others take the plunge is entertaining enough!


Bonus Tip: Wind Down at Mt Rosa LodgeAfter a day of exploring, return to the serenity of Mt Rosa Lodge. Soak in the views, enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace, or stargaze from the courtyard. It's the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
