We have visited Queenstown from Australia several times, usually staying for at least two weeks…read moreeach time. New World Frankton (Queenstown) is our go to for grocery shopping, such an amazing store which leaves our supermarkets in Australia lacking by comparison. The range of bakery and deli product is outstanding. Great customer service, from a friendly helpful team, even to providing complimentary discount cards for visitors to enjoy the discounted price on a range of product across a well stocked store. And the main attraction?

Luckily we found a supermarket all the way at the far corner of Queenstown Mall near Stanley St. called 4 Square Supermarket. There's a small parking lot out front. Inside is clean and organized. There's a lot of fresh local fruits and vegetables, snacks, drinks, coffee, and etc. Oh, and water too! Big bottles of water. Self checkout was easy, and the staff there were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here while visiting Queenstown. It's definitely walkable distance. This might be the last place you'll see, but it's worth it as the prices are MUCH cheaper than anywhere else.

The store feels very new and spacious, with flowers right at the entrance, plenty of fresh produce, a small café on the side, and a nice selection of pastries. Pretty much anything you need, you can find here. Prices are reasonable--slightly higher than Pak'nSave but definitely cheaper than Woolworths. So far, these are the three supermarkets we've visited, and New World has been a solid option. We usually pick up kombucha, pastries for the next morning, and some eggs since we prefer lighter breakfasts. They accept credit cards, the bathrooms are clean, and there's plenty of parking. A convenient and well-stocked stop for travelers.

Four Square Supermarket in Wanaka wasn't any exception. However, when we compared their prices with the Countdown store in Queenstown, we only noticed about a 5% difference. Not too bad considering the "small town" mark up can be pretty steep sometimes. We were in the Cordrona area for about 12 days making grocery shopping a necessity - fiscally and logically. When we visited the store, we were welcomed as soon as we walked in with a smile and a hello (great start). The store is a bit on the small size, but given its location in town, it wasn't surprising. They carried most anything a person might need/want while on holiday (drinks, chips, cookies, cereals, breads, toiletries, dairy, fruit, etc.) They even had a small selection of hot food items. All decently priced. There's parking directly in front, but keep in mind there's a 30 minute time limit. I'm not sure how strict the limits are here, but at home (Honolulu), 30 minutes at times MEANS 30 minutes - if you can find parking at all. We can't complain much about this grocery store. It's a great option to pick up the necessities.

Selection of produce was limited and very expensive. We wandered through here looking for inspiration for making meals for several days and left with yogurts, a frozen meal, a loaf of bread, beer, and wine. Needless to say it was disappointing. I was relieved to find a couple of good sour beers as well as reasonably priced high ranking Sauvignon Blanc wine. Other than that this place is not ideal for stocking the fridge for more than a day or two. Fortunately there is a food truck directly across from the parking lot where we ended up getting a couple of meals instead!

And it's right along the lake so you can go for a nice walk after you eat. The early morning hours worked out for us since we woke up early and were happy to see the shop open and ready to serve. The prices were a bit more compared to coffee shops in town but nothing too outrageous. My husband ordered a latte with a croissant and I ordered the chai latte with the banana bread. The coffee and pastries took awhile but I realized why when they brought our orders to our table. They are all about presentation. The lattes came in beautiful mugs along with graham cracker cookies. The food was served with butter and jelly. My husband only wanted the butter and he said it was the best better he had ever had! The jelly and banana bread went well together for me but wait a little too much sweet with the chai. I recommend going savory at this place. If it was warmer we would have gone outside to enjoy the lakeside view but we walking around a bit outside after. Enjoy!

We dropped in on an early Monday evening (just before 6:00pm) to take advantage of happy hour. The place is beautiful with a few tables outside to people watch and enjoy the lake view. Otherwise, there's tons of seating inside with hipster light bulbs, a fireplace and old vintage equipment as decor. The dinner menu is split into share plates, mains, sides and kids. The pasta of the day was a seafood linguini ($25.00 NZD). We saw a few mains come out to neighbouring tables that looked appetizing. Same with the coffee, which most tables ordered. There's also a separate dessert menu. The Alchemy dessert platter ($18.00 NZD) sounded promising. Nice touch with the complimentary sparkling and tap water.

We had to wait outside a bit for a table. It was pretty annoying to be kicked off the wifi for no reason halfway through and having to rejoin though The servers were nice, though we barely interacted with them aside from ordering and them delivering our food.

I ordered my go-to breakfast item, which is their Vudu Benedict ($30NZD), along with a cup of their Housemade Lemon Honey Ginger ($6). You order at their counter in the middle of the shop, and then they give you a number to take to your table. The tea came out pretty quickly, and the benedict followed maybe about 10 minutes after. The benedict was good, and while there was only 1 egg, the whole thing stuffed me for hours afterwards. The bread at the bottom was definitely the most filling part, and I was struggling to finish it all. They had a glass display with various bakery items, and they looked so good I was so tempted to get something even though I was stuffed from the benedict. If I ever come back to Queenstown I would definitely be coming back here to try some of those bakery items.
