This one of the views from the Skyline Restaurant balcony, looking down to Queenstown with Lake Wakatipu.
The ride in the Gondola up the mountain gives wonderful views.
The ranges called the Remarkables are in the background.

Just had to share this view with you, we spent 3 days in Queenstown and this was our "welcome to the world today" view, from our room in the hotel.
Although we did not have time for this activity, you can cruise the lake on the vintage steamship, up to Walter Peak High Country Farm, watch farming demonstrations and feed the animals.BBQ, or evening meal. in a Homestead Restaurant.
Reservations are essential, tel ;-0800 65 65 03
