What are the best places to stay in Queenstown?

CBD

Consider booking CBD accommodation if you’re looking to walk everywhere and stay in the centre of the action while visiting the Otago region on flights Brisbane to Queenstown.

Arrowtown

Head 20 minutes northeast of the CBD to see the historic gold mining town of Arrowtown. It has a different feel to the city, with historic cottages, an interesting history, pretty naturescapes, and a quiet small-town feel.
