Words cannot do justice to the spellbinding beauty that we witnessed during our short vacation in Queensland. Located in the south of the South Island, Queenstown harbours lots of lakes overlooking impressive mountains. It was a treat to behold the spectacular natural scenery that was 'painted' in front of us. I and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent there. We hit up some of the popular destinations.
We kick-started our escapade with bungee jumping at Kawarau River, which also happens to be the world's first commercial jump site. It was an adrenaline gushing experience as we plummeted down and almost touched the waters! Treading further we went to Milford Sound and "HOLY COW!" what an experience that was. Upon entering the destination we were surrounded by beautiful cliffs towering above us, carved by glaciers as if rising from the dark waters.

Another wonderful spectacle of our trip was the Gondola skyline that sat atop the steepest lift on Bob's peak. We had a relaxing experience as we got the best views of the city of Queenstown. This was perhaps the highlight of our tour. We ended our getaway trip at The Remarkables, New Zealand's playground, where we snowboarded and did some skiing.
Courtesy car rental services, our trip to Queenstown was cheap and comfortable and devoid of hassle. Car hire services allowed us to leisurely move about Queenstown. We neither had to worry about the erratic public transport schedules, nor did we have to fuss about hiring expensive taxis. Renting a car of our choice at extremely cheap rates made our trip even more memorable.
