Downtown Queenstown
Downtown is just a quarter mile or so across in an area bounded by Shotover Street, Stanley Street and the water’s edge. Most of the action can be found in this small area which consists of pedestrianized streets, numerous bars and cafés, and excellent shopping.
Queenstown Mall
The Queenstown Mall is in the center of downtown Queenstown and is a pedestrian thoroughfare going from the lake for a few hundred feet up to Camp Street. Some of the best shopping can be had here and it is a great place to hang at any time of the day or night.
Shotover Street
Shotover Street comes in from the Esplanade and Beach Road and is the widest, albeit two-lane, street in town. It is just a half mile long and contains most of the adventure tour operators and many of the most popular nightspots and hotels.
Steamer Wharf
Steamer Wharf is located along the water’s edge just west of downtown Queenstown, where Shotover Street and Beach Street come together, and it is known for its grassy areas and quaint eateries. There is a bit of shopping here, including the Queenstown Arts Center which is set up every Saturday. The classic TSS Earnslaw steamer sails from Steamer Wharf.
Lake Wakatipu
The South Island’s longest lake laps up against Steamer Wharf, with the Esplanade to the west and Wakatipu Heights to the east. In its entirety, it stretches up and down for around 50 miles and has all sorts of allure for water sports enthusiasts.
Wakatipu Heights
Wakatipu Heights is a mile or two from downtown Queenstown along Frankton Road and is a chilled-out residential area of the city known for its views over the town and lake. There are various accommodation options up here, including guesthouses for backpackers, hotel resorts for the moneyed, caravan parks for touring visitors and house rentals for those here longer-term.
