Curious about Queenstown? Wondering what all the fuss is all about? Well if you’d like to up your heart rate and experience something truly thrilling and adventurous – then you need to head to the resort town of Queenstown, New Zealand. The non-stop fun-factor and adrenaline pumping activities are enough to leave you with stories that last a lifetime.

The Villa del Lago is a small boutique complex of premium condo style apartments and King Suites. Combining a luxury stay with all the gripping attractions is a match made in travel heaven.

Queenstown is situated in Otago, located on the south-west of South Island. It cradles the shores of the glittering Lake Wakatipu, with the dramatic Southern Alps mountain range as its backdrop. The visual enchantment is a sight to behold, attracting travellers from around New Zealand and the world to marvel at her mesmerising beauty, pristine natural splendour, and of course, to partake in the smorgasbord of rip-roaring recreation. It’s clearly not known as ‘The Adventure Capital of the World’ for nothing, being the birthplace of bungee jumping, plus offering zip-lining, alpine skiing, skydiving, white water rafting, paragliding, four-wheel driving, off road and mountain biking, hiking, scenic-flights, off road buggy expeditions, water sports, jet boating through icy river canyons, trails and bike riding. Naturally, it draws huge crowds during the summer and winter seasons, but peace and tranquility can always be found up the mountain, alongside the lake, or of course, at Villa Del Lago – the luxurious villas and suites on the shore.

Their majestic lake and mountain views are available from all the accommodation options, securing a most scenic stay.  The Queenstown hiking and cycling trail runs just below the complex affording great tranquillity as all vehicle traffic is kept well away from the hotel.

The category of room options include one bedroom King Suites, and two and three bedroomed villas – all completely serviced.  They all feature separate bedrooms, gas fireplace, spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchen for meal preparation, private bathrooms, separate laundry areas and an exterior balcony or terrace. In addition, small touches like the complimentary condiments in the kitchen, complimentary toiletries, hairdryer, heated towel rail, underfloor heating, free unlimited wifi, Bose Ipod dock, two Smart TV’s, and sports gear lockers that communicates care and well-thought out hospitality.

Brave wine pioneers are blazing a trail of new styles to be enjoyed and savoured the world over. Spectacular vineyard landscapes captivate all who gaze on her beauty. Other relaxing pastimes are taking a day trip out to Milford Sounds, one of the most beautiful places on earth, bursting with greenery, waterfalls and marine life. How about visiting the The Onsen Hot Pools Retreat and Day Spa… only 10 minutes out of Queenstown and located on a cliff edge. Bask in hot tubs overlooking the alpine landscape and indulge in beauty & massage therapy – could anything be more sublime? Another exceptional experience is booking a scenic flight trip (a small plane or helicopter), budget allowing, that takes you over the rugged and steep mountain ranges and swoopes you over the lakes for an unforgettable visual of the natural terrain.
