Sleepless in Queenstown ✈️ | 6D5N Summer Road Trip

They say Queenstown is a place you’ll keep coming back to—and it’s true. No need for rushed itineraries or long journeys. Just find a quiet spot and soak in the 6 AM sunrise that lingers until 10 PM. 🌟 Activity Ratings 1️⃣ Skyline Gondola & Luge ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Breathtaking summit views + kid-approved luge tracks! 2️⃣ TSS Earnslaw + BBQ Buffet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scenic cruise to an island feast—their steak is a must! 3️⃣ Ice Bar ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh. Skip Minus 5 (dated) for the newer Queenstown Ice Bar (ticket includes 1 drink). 4️⃣ Deer Park Heights ⭐️ (Avoid!) "Free-range" disappointment: No signage, dusty trails, and barely any deer. Just lost tourists and dirt roads. 5️⃣ Glenorchy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A tiny misty town (pop. 200) 40 mins away. Perfect for lakeside strolls—bring snacks! 6️⃣ Arrowtown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Splurge at AB Bakery—their green curry pie is legendary! 7️⃣ Fergburger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth the hype! A face-sized, charcoal-grilled beef burger for NZ$20. 8️⃣ Onsen Hot Pools ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book daytime (5+ people) or evening (12+) slots for a serene soak. #SouthIslandNZ #Queenstown #NZRoadTrip #Fergburger #Onsen #Skyline #TravelDiaries
