Getting Around

Queenstown CBD is quite compact and walking is a great way to discover the retail outlets, souvenir stores, art galleries, bars and restaurants. The town centre is located ten minutes drive from the airport.

If you don’t rent a car whilst you are in town, there are a number of options to get around.  The local bus service Connectabus is a great way to explore the area and operates from early morning to late at night. Routes cover Queenstown, Frankton, Arrowtown, Millbrook Resort, Lake Hayes, Remarkables Park, Queenstown Airport, Fernhill and Sunshine bay.  

Airport shuttles run regularly, and there are a number of taxi companies in Queenstown.  Buses also provide connections to Glenorchy (approximately 45 mins away) and further afield to Wanaka, Invercargill, Dunedin and Christchurch.

Most activity and accommodation providers offer free shuttles to/from the town centre. 

During the winter season, there are a number of shuttle buses which operate daily from town to Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona Alpine Resort.
