Parks & Nature
A beautiful, less busy spot to cycle with kids or walk and enjoy beautiful autumn colors. Sometimes we bring a picnic here and the views are stunning.

We have an amazing trail network that is relatively new. Cycling it is one of my favorite things to do, especially in autumn. You can also rent an e-bike and ride it all the way to Gibbston Valley return & stop for lunch. One of our favorite activities.

This is the large grocery store where we go to do bigger shops. They carry everything and seem to have the lowest prices, but are about a 15 minute drive.

Getting Around
The bus stop is a 1-minute walk from our home (corner of Cameron Place & Fernhill Road). It runs every 15 mins (daytime) & ride to town takes 5 minutes. Rides are $5 cash or $2 with Go Card anywhere in area (including Arrowtown & Airport). Groups can use the same Go Card ($5 for card). Driving in Queenstown is not relaxing. We take the bus as it is very close to home, cheap, frequent and you won’t have to find or pay for parking in town. Walking track to Queenstown at the end of Cameron Place. If you walk to the cul-de-sac end of our block.
