Introduction

The Queenstown area has some of New Zealand’s most spectacular scenery and natural features.

The region has a rich history of both gold mining and settlement. Several walks follow goldfield trails that enable you to explore and enjoy the outstanding scenery at the same time.

The Queenstown area was a location for Ithilien camp and the Argonath on the Anduin River - see Lord of the Rings film locations.
