Best photo locations in Queenstown
Hello you!
Thanks for checking out my blog! I am a little nervous to be honest, this is my first blog post ever and I am not really sure how this works! So I thought I am going to share some of the best photo locations in and around Queenstown, that’s an easy topic, right? I am not wasting your time any longer, I know you didn’t click on this post to read about my boring life. Have fun reading!
Queenstown Gardens
A five-minute walk from Queenstown CBD will bring you to the beauty of Queenstown gardens. You will see people walking their dogs, sport lovers going for a run and locals playing disc golf. This well-maintained garden is a real gem and looks beautiful all year round.
2. Coronet peak
Stunning Remarkables and Queenstown backdrops makes coronet peak one of the most popular locations in the area. It’s about a 20 minute drive from the CBD to the viewpoint, the road is easy to access (no 4wd required) and the views are just amazing. Definitely the Queenstown photos of your dreams.
3. Jack’s Point
The suburb is not only popular for its golf course, Jack’s point also has amazing photo locations. Remarkables, Queenstown and the Lakefront can all be found as beautiful background locations. As all the other locations, this one is free and easily accessible, golden grass invites for dreamy photos during golden hour. If you’re not taking photos, the golf club house is worth a visit for a coffee and a little snack with great views.
4. Kelvin Heights
The sunny peninsula offers many opportunities and great photo spots. The Hilton Hotel at the begin of the peninsula offers views of Ben Lomond as well as the Frankton Arm, the peninsula end opens up to Walter Peak, the Remarkables and Kingston. If you’re staying in Queenstown Central, simply catch the water taxi over to Kelvin heights, it’s quicker and way more fun than driving!
5. Kingston
Kingston is a tiny village at the end of Lake Wakatipu, you will pass it on the way to Milford sound. The drive over devil’s staircase is already worth it, the small road offers epic views. In Kingston you can drive down to the wharf where you can find an old train station, it’s a great hidden gem for photos.
Thank you so much for reading through, it can be hard choosing a good photo location, I hope I could help!
