Cocktails and live music on the Steamer Wharf sounds like a recipe for an idyllic evening. Even more so when the drink menu is based upon fairy tales and fables and the view is as fantastical as it gets. 

This is the place to spot the sunset. With panoramic 360 views hop aboard Perky's, an old boat turned floating bar. Bring your own snacks and picnic to enjoy with a drink!

With penthouse accomodation, a spa situated in what was once a gold vault, and a restaurant, cocktail bar, and grille with views overlooking Lake Wakatipu, Eichardt's Private Hotel is as luxurious as it is historic. With just seven suites, a penthouse, and a handful of private apartments an escape to Eichardt's should be on the cards!

As Queenstown's oldest restaurant, it's fair to say The Cow has become an institution for tourists, locals, and just about any passer by. With vibes comparable to a medieval den, head to this spot for your fill of pasta, pizza, and it goes without saying, a very warm welcome.
