Begin your adventure in Queenstown, known as the adventure capital, where you can indulge in thrilling activities like bungee jumping from the iconic Kawarau Bridge or taking a scenic gondola ride to the top of Bob's Peak for breathtaking views. For a more tranquil experience, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Fiordland National Park, where you can explore stunning fjords such as Milford Sound, often described as the eighth wonder of the world, with its towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. Next, venture to the picturesque town of Wanaka, where you can enjoy a family-friendly hike up to the famous Roy's Peak, offering panoramic vistas that are perfect for family photos. Wine enthusiasts will find solace in the Marlborough region, where you can sample world-class Sauvignon Blanc at charming vineyards while the children play in the lush gardens. Finally, consider staying in the vibrant city of Christchurch, where you can enjoy a blend of modern comforts and historical charm at boutique hotels, all while exploring beautifully restored gardens and the innovative Transitional Cathedral. This diverse region not only caters to your adventurous spirit but also ensures that you and your family are pampered with top service and an unforgettable holiday experience. ## Top South Island Hotel Reviews ![Kamana Lakehouse](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/990000/983600/983589/7ba2222c_y.jpg) ### Kamana Lakehouse 10/10 Excellent "My daughter and I were travelling through Queenstown and stayed three nights at the Kamana Lakehouse. The hotel was beautiful and the views of the lake were outstanding. The service was great as well. I understand some people were not happy about the parking lot views and the construction but that does not bother me. The only reason I gave four stars on service is because there should be more options for breakfast. The dinner was excellent along with the wine. Breakfast was a set menu but it would be best if there were some quick fruit and continental options when timing is tight for travelers and activities that get planned during the day. There is nothing near to go to unless you go to town so if you do not have time for a full sit down breakfast, you are a bit out of luck. That would be my only complaint otherwise, everything was lovely."
