Queenstown Gardens The Queenstown Gardens occupy a small peninsula on Lake Wakatipu, on the outskirts of Queenstown. Since 1867 the gardens have been a central feature of the town, and provide a tranquil break from the busy streets. Visit the gardens to see historic, heritage-listed trees, marvel at the views of The Remarkables mountain range, or enjoy sporting and leisure activities.

Skyline Queenstown Winding up the side of Bob’s Peak is the steepest cable-car line in the Southern Hemisphere. Since 1967, the Skyline Gondola has been taking visitors to the summit of Bob’s Peak for views across the Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu area. Skyline also operates a number of adventure activities on the mountain. The gondola is the best way to access the mountain biking, hiking and paragliding that takes place on Bob’s Peak.

Coronet Peak Ski Area Traverse ski and snowboard runs for all skill levels at Coronet Peak, a 691-acre (280-hectare) ski field to the northeast of Queenstown.

Lake Wakatipu Lake Wakatipu is a lightning bolt-shaped lake set in the shadow of dramatic mountain peaks and alpine forests. The lake is the ideal setting for outdoor pursuits such as biking, fishing, kayaking and walking. Lake Wakatipu is 84 kilometres (52 miles) long and extends for 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) at its widest point. Māori legend states that the lake formed after a giant was burnt to death and thus scorched a huge hole by melting the ice of the nearby mountains.

Moke Lake The quiet, secluded Moke Lake often goes unseen by visitors to the Queenstown area who are drawn to the much more prominent Lake Wakatipu. However, just 4 miles (6 kilometers) from Queenstown lays the picturesque Moke Lake hamlet, surrounded by mountains. It’s an excellent destination to swim, kayak, horse ride and hike.

The windy roads lead you through stunning green valleys, contrasted by clear blue lakes, majestic mountains topped with a crisp blanket of snow. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6344359/cb6eaff4-3a48-4a1f-b1d1-567325f11576.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Mount Creighton ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Closeburn worth visiting? ### How do I spend a day in Closeburn? ### What is the top tourist attraction in Closeburn? ### Is three days enough to stay in Closeburn? ### Is Closeburn a walkable city? ### What are some activities to do in Closeburn with kids? > - [Queenstown: Lake Wakatipu Scenic Cruise (90 Minutes)](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/queenstown-lake-wakatipu-scenic-cruise-90-minutes.a1393648.activity-details) > - [Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Tour](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/milford-sound-coach-cruise-tour.a324306.activity-details) > - [Milford Sound Wilderness Cruise](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/milford-sound-wilderness-cruise.a259336.activity-details) > - [Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/premium-milford-sound-small-group-tour-cruise-from-queenstown.a1393778.activity-details) > - [Milford Sound Full-Day Experience with Nature Cruise & Lunch ex Queenstown](https://expedia.com/things-to-do/milford-sound-full-day-experience-with-nature-cruise-lunch-ex-queenstown.a486153.activity-details) ### What to do in Closeburn for adults? ### Are there free things to do in Closeburn?
