Queenstown City Centre
Queenstown City Centre buzzes with adventure tourism booking offices, bars, and restaurants. The lakefront promenade along Lake Wakatipu offers stunning mountain views and peaceful walking paths. Adrenaline junkies book everything from bungee jumping to jet boating, while others enjoy the Queenstown Gardens or take the Skyline Gondola up to Bob's Peak for panoramic alpine vistas. The compact city centre is easily walkable with most attractions just minutes apart. From backpacker cafes to fine dining spots serving local lamb and seafood, the food scene caters to all budgets. Hotels range from luxury lodges to hostels, with most offering those picture-perfect mountain or lake views everyone comes for.

Fernhill
Perched on the hillside above Queenstown, Fernhill offers travellers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains. Winding roads lead to modern holiday homes nestled among native bush, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame postcard-perfect panoramas. Walking trails start right from your doorstep, connecting you to the popular Ben Lomond Track for more adventurous hikes. You'll need to venture into city centre Queenstown for dining and shopping, just a short drive down the hill. Most accommodation feature upscale holiday rentals with gourmet kitchens and premium amenities like private hot tubs. The steep terrain means having a car is your best bet for getting around.

Frankton
Frankton blends lakeside charm with airport-adjacent convenience for travellers coming to Queenstown. Biking trails hug the shoreline of Lake Wakatipu, where you can dip your toes at Frankton Beach or snap jaw-dropping mountain photos. Remarkables Park Town Centre offers retail therapy when you need a break from all that gorgeous scenery. The area serves up family-friendly dining without the city centre prices. Motels and budget hotels near the airport make great home bases for exploring the region. With Queenstown Airport and a major bus interchange right here, you're perfectly positioned to zip around the South Island.

Sunshine Bay
Sunshine Bay serves up stunning views of Lake Wakatipu with the dramatic Remarkables mountain range as your backdrop. This peaceful area offers a sweet escape from Queenstown's buzz while keeping you close enough for convenience. The lakefront walking path delivers postcard-worthy scenes at every turn, and the small beach area welcomes swimmers brave enough to dip into the crystal-clear alpine waters. Most visitors stay in holiday rentals with jaw-dropping views and self-catering kitchens. You'll need wheels to reach Queenstown's restaurants and shops just 10-15 minutes away. The neighborhood's charm lies in its quiet residential vibe and natural beauty rather than tourist attractions or nightlife.
Goldfield Heights
Goldfield Heights offers a serene escape with spectacular views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains. The residential area connects to the popular Queenstown Hill Time Walk, where native beech forests and alpine trails reward hikers with panoramic vistas. This upscale retreat feels worlds away from city centre bustle yet sits just a 15-minute stroll from Queenstown's attractions. Luxury holiday rentals with floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the accommodation scene here. While you won't find restaurants or shops within the area, city centre Queenstown's dining and retail options are easily accessible by car or rideshare. The steep terrain means a car is handy but not essential for travellers who enjoy scenic walks.
