HIGHLIGHTS • Chug across Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu aboard the 107-year-old TSS Earnslaw steamship. • Soar up steep mountainside to Bob’s Peak on the Queenstown gondola and then zoom halfway back down on the renowned luge. • Try Gibbston Valley's world-famous wine and lock lips with Central Otago’s tastiest export, pinot noir.
76
• Cardrona Distillery is the world's most southern whisky distillery and Cardrona Hotel opened in 1863. Admire the vintage Chrysler parked outside and head to the beer garden. • Visit one of the four islands sprinkled across Wanaka’s glass-like lake. • In Arrowtown, heritage buildings flank wide, leafy streets and there's a former 1880s village once occupied by Chinese gold miners.
• Ōamaru boasts tiny blue penguins, steampunk culture and an historic Victorian precinct. • The sphere-shaped Moeraki Boulders are always captivating. • The Catlins’ roving roads are a driver’s dream and Stewart Island (New Zealand’s third island) offers a wild, rugged excuse to get off the grid.
