Thank you Vicky for planning the perfect Queenstown vacation. We only wish we had more time in New Zealand.
The Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel was lovely. The room was spacious and cozy. They have a happy hour in the lobby from 6-7 pm. Local wine, beer and appetizers, all complimentary. It was a nice way to meet fellow travelers. The breakfast that was included was five star! I had the Mushroom Eggs Benedict two of the days, and fresh squeezed orange juice!
The Milford Sound trip was a highlight! Stunning! The small group coach on the way to the sound gave us a very personalized tour of the New Zealand countryside. Our guide knew all about the the native plants and birds. She was exceptional. The boat ride around the sound was beautiful! We saw huge waterfalls, seals, penguins and dolphins. The flight back to Queenstown was an unexpected treat! The up close view of the glacier and the snow covered mountains would amaze anyone. We spent a day hiking five plus hours on the Routeburn Track. The trail is one of the top hikes in the world. Again, Spectacular. We had another perfect guide. The Queenstown Boat Ride, BBQ dinner and Sheep herding and shearing show is a must do when you visit. The BBQ has local meats and fruits and vegetables. Everything was delicious.
Make sure you are hungry when you go.
My only Regret is that we didn't have more time! Thank you Vicky for planning the Ultimate Adventure!
