Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Queenstown – Romance by the Lakeshore
Queenstown’s natural setting is a premium place for romance to thrive. Snowy mountains surround a glassy lake, and solitude reigns. Trails meander into Middle-earth, and there is serenity everywhere. After a short airport transfer, today will be at your leisure. Your lakeside hotel commands sublime mountain views. All the suites are standalone, and you can enjoy a couples treatment in the spa at any time during the day. This is an iconic and romantic version of New Zealand that encourages you to unwind and let soft pleasures flow. There will be time for activities later; now is the time for two.
