Queenstown Off The Beaten Path: 48 reviews and 116 photos
A trip to Glenorchy is a must do in my opinion for anyone spending a few days in Queenstown. It is a lovely little town located at the tip of Lake Wakatipu and lies right at the base of Westland World Heritage National Park. It is known as the Gateway to Paradise and is the start point for most people heading to the Routeburn, Caples and Greenstone Tracks (hiking).
There is an information centre and a backpackers in the town. There are also some other types of accommodation on offer.
If you don't have a car there are regular shuttles from Queenstown or you can do what we did and take a guided tour. There are many sites around Glenorchy where the Lord of the Rings was filmed so is a must see for any film buffs.
