Mount Creighton

Travel Guide

The drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy is by far my most favourite drive I've ever done, and it's gonna be really hard to beat that. 

We were so lucky to visit Queenstown and Glenorchy in the middle of winter (June 2013, minus or 0 during the day, as crisp as you'd want your perfect winter to be) and have this absolute clear day with cracking blue skies. 

The windy roads lead you through stunning green valleys, contrasted by clear blue lakes, majestic mountains topped with a crisp blanket of snow.

It was a bright summer's day in February 2016. We were heading towards Glenorchy from Queenstown, New Zealand. This drive is by far one of the most awesome.
Amazing views in Queenstown, New Zealand. Took this on a stop while driving - jumped in for a swim - clearest water ever, but cold.
What a beautiful scenic drive to Highway 6A heading north along side Lake Wakatipu.   A MUST stopped to enjoyed these breathtaking view of Mount Creighton.

We had a great stay! Room facilities where perfect and the staff were very friendly. The only minor thing I could mention is the positioning of the AC in the room did not help to cool the room at all. Even with the AC on it still got quite hot where the bed was. But other han that a great hotel and ...

Really has the feel of a ski hotel even in summer. Modern hotel ( in a new district) with fair size rooms. Liked the laundry facilities but parking was an issue, as it's shared with a block of permanent residents. Quite far from the centre but close to the airport.

Staff was courteous. But kitchen appliances were not up to the par. Microwave goes down for 10 mins if two dishes heated. Washroom was ok, not very good.
