Summer finally seems to be on it's way... (Fri, 23rd Nov 2012)
... bring on winter!!! OK, so we’re not so keen to give up the long lazy evenings and warm breezes just yet, but the fantastic American Express Queenstown Winter Festival has announced next years dates - open your diary and cancel everything between the 21st and 30th of June 2013.
The coolest 10 days in the Southern hemisphere will be home to fun on and off the ski slopes – street parades, fireworks, music, food, wine... we’re almost too excited already!
And of course, if it all gets a bit much in town, we’ll be glad to whisk you away on a thrilling blast up the lake, Thunder Jet style!

If you’re coming to Queenstown there’s plenty more to do than riding on ThunderJet (I know, as if you’d want to do anything else!) – over 46,000 readers of the influential Condé Naste magazine ranked Queenstown just behind Sydney – here’s what readers scored out of 100:
Ambiance 91.6
Friendliness 91.8
Lodging 78.7
Restaurants 75.8
Culture/sites 76.9
Shopping 53.8
So invite your friends from around New Zealand, those over the ditch and all those family and friends overseas to come visit and take a spin on Lake Wakatipu with us – as you can see we’re 91.8% friendly! Once you’re done with ThunderJet, sample the rest of what our wonderful town has to offer this summer!
