If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Queenstown, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy any number of gorgeous getaways. Here are some of our favourite places to stay for a weekend or two away.
Brydone Hotel Oamaru
Crafted from beautiful white limestone, and filled with a sweeping staircase, chandeliers and comfortable rooms this is a great place to explore the delights of Oamar. Three hours from Queenstown you will find this charming town on the coast, with a colony of little blue penguins calling the harbour home. There’s a steampunk themed playground the kids will love with a museum and plenty of great shops and galleries to explore.
