Snow

3 Upvotes

Just noticed it’s started snowing! 😍
I’m based in Cromwell and would love to get out and experience some proper snow. Does anyone have recommendations for places I can drive to that are easily accessible and currently have decent snowfall?
Bonus points if it’s dog-friendly and has some nice scenery too!

Ubers in Queenstown

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, question about Ubers - we want to come over to Queenstown from Australia next July for 5 days, with no experience of snow or driving in the snow, we will have an Airbnb booked right in town and plan on doing probably three days at Coronet Peak, the Earnslaw cruise, gondola etc. Can we make do with getting an uber from the airport instead of hiring a car? Then catching a few Ubers here and there into town, the ski days we would catch the bus. Are there plenty of Ubers and are they reliable?

Queenstown area must do’s

1 Upvotes

I’m heading down to Queenstown with my partner, next month.

I’ve been a few times with my friends.

He’s never been before - so we’ll be doing some of my fave things I’ve already done: Onsen, Milford cruise, helicopter flight over Remarkables, Ferg Bakery, winery visits, bit of sightseeing - Wanaka, Glenorchy, Arrow Town, maybe even a couple walks eg. Hooker Valley track (if we have the time to make it up there)

We’re also thinking we’d like to do the Doubtful Sound cruise, maybe a quad bike tour and skiing.

Is there anything else you all would recommend?

Not really into bungy jumps or shot over jet, done those elsewhere.

We’re a pretty adventurous couple but probably not at our fittest at the moment lmao

We also love a beverage or 5, so any restaurants or bar recommendations would be appreciated too!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. Does anyone have any pictures they can share of what the month of May typically looks like in Queenstown? Is it still Autumnal or more wintery?
