Resort life

After a hard days riding, the next best thing is to be able to hang out in a place that offers you a good choice of accommodation, plenty of restaurants and loads of bars with varying price ranges to suite all pockets. And that is exactly what you get in Queenstown, a big town full of all the joys and spoils to make a week a month or even a year an eventful one. Queenstown is the adventure capital of NZ and has every possible holiday services you could want and a vast array of outdoor sport activities. From the home of the bungee you can paraglide, rock climb, go jet boating, sky dive, they truly have perfected the art of pocket and pant emptying.

Nightlife

Night life in Queenstown rocks hard and late. Locals here like and know how to party hard, and if there's nothing laid on then guaranteed something will happen to set the evening off. The choice of bars is great with some good boozers, such as the Red Rock Cafe which also serves good bar food. The World Bar is also cool hangout.
