Stay near popular Kawarau Falls attractions

Learn more about Kawarau Falls

Nestled along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, this alpine paradise offers spectacular skiing at The Remarkables where fresh powder awaits adventure-seekers. Take a peaceful lakeside stroll through Queenstown Gardens before unwinding on Queenstown Beach with mountain views framing your afternoon.

This isn't quite the Remarkables Ski Area but it's not that far away.  It was November and the biggest snow fall that Queenstown had ever had in that month fortuitously dumped some lovely white stuff all over the mountain tops.  We went out the next day and could only get so far before the road was closed due to snow clearing activities.  Still, it was a lovely drive!
