If you’re visiting Queenstown for the first time and you’re staying in an apartment, there are a few things you should know to really get the most out of your holiday. Many people come to Queenstown expecting the same as anywhere else, but this is a big mistake. It’s known as the adventure capital of the world for a good reason! So here are a five travel tips to really get the most out of your Queenstown Apartment and really enjoy your trip to this southern gem.

1 - Housekeeping or privacy

In hotels, you can expect housekeeping to make a visit and clean up after you, allowing you to really enjoy your holiday. The good news is that most self-servicing apartments offer this service as an optional extra, giving you the choice of either having someone tidy up, or enjoy the privacy a hotel room can’t offer. So it’s entirely up to you when you want someone to come and give the place a tidy, allowing you to customise your holiday perfectly.

2 - Stay supplied!

One of the benefits of using a self-servicing apartment is the kitchenette or kitchen facilities available in each room. This can make it much cheaper and easier to enjoy a midnight snack, especially if you’re still getting over jet lag! It also makes planning meals much easier for the days you’ll spend on adventures. Give yourself time to visit the local supermarket and pick up everything you need to stay happy!

3 - Double check your dates

Queenstown is an extremely popular place to visit all year round, so it’s extremely important that you make sure you’ve got the dates right, as to avoid an awkward run in! Call ahead to your destination and talk to the friendly staff to confirm your selected dates. Due to the popularity of Queenstown, it can be tough to find affordable accommodation last minute, so don’t be afraid to check!

4 - Book well in advance

As mentioned before, Queenstown is extremely popular all year round due to its incredible location in the Southern Alps. With that being said, Queenstown apartments are also very popular, so it pays to book well in advance. If you’re thinking about going on holiday next year, book now to make sure you have the dates and location that you want! You’ll also be able to save on airline tickets and other services by booking in advance, leaving more money for adventures.

5 - Prepare for an adventure!

When you arrive, leave all expectations at the door. Queenstown is known as the adventure capital of the world and attracts tens of thousands of people each year who want to enjoy what New Zealand has to offer. We recommend leaving all expectations of what type of holiday you’ll be enjoying at the door and to keep an open mind. Enjoy the adventure for what it is and make some memories!
