Most people take their hard earned holidays around the hottest summer months and spend their time jostling for room at the local beaches and parks or playgrounds and lined up in queues waiting to get onto an adventure activity, or at the other end of the weather scale in the peak of the Ski Season when the slopes are packed and same goes for the streets and restaurants.

Why not think ahead and you could have a more relaxed and enjoyable holiday booking into a Luxury Queenstown Apartment in the quieter months and save yourself dollars and time.

For skiing in and around Queenstown there is still fantastic snow late August through to mid September and the slopes are virtually free of people, brilliant if you are just learning to ski or like the European feel where you have more of the field to yourself during the day. Also the chairlift lines are minimal.

In New Zealand the summer weather is still quite changeable but usually February has the most settled weather and is still very pleasant. Children are back at school and all businesses are open again after the Christmas break. A lot of shops are having sales to encourage visitors to spend up again after Christmas.

Accommodation providers have had a chance to catch up after the mad Christmas, New Year rush and you will find good deals to be made with longer stay bookings.

By staying at a Luxury Queenstown Apartment in the shoulder or off peak season not only can you benefit from all the off site advantages which have been mentioned but also the carefree use of a self catering apartment or leisurely dining at one of the local restaurants and having the bill charged back to your room so you are not always putting your hand in your pocket and can simply pay one account at the end of your stay.

Also the onsite advantages would be not so many guests in the car park, fitness areas or spa areas and the best advantage a later checkout as the room may not be required immediately after your departure for the next guest.

Without the hassle of a rushed timeframe you will be able to enjoy your stay far more and be able to acquire more information from the front of house team of the best activities, shops and dining places, all the little bits of information that get missed when they are juggling many more guests.
