Where to sleep in Queenstown — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Queenstown central — lakefront base
Wharf bars, gondola and bungy desks within stumbling distance.
Fernhill & Sunshine Bay — view slopes
Lake Wakatipu panoramas a short walk from town.
Arrowtown — gold-rush charm
Autumn-colored heritage village 20 minutes out — quieter, lovelier.
Glenorchy — the end of the road
Paradise (literally, it's named that) at the lake's head — LOTR country.
