While I normally steer clear of "souvenir shops" as the merchandise is usually just junk, this one was different as they carried a wide range of jade and paua ( the pearlized shells) made into costime jewelery that was of the same caliber as other shops in town, but with a more reasonable price. Service was spot on, too, as the woman helping me went out of her way to find me just the piece I was looking for. She also was helpful to convert my US ring size to the sizing they use here. It may not be for everyone, but I was able to get a couple of things at a reasonable price to take back home with me. And that was exactly what I was looking for!

Don't…read moreget me wrong, there's a fine line between a souvenir shop and a tourist trap, but Global Culture stands far above the other nearby touristy-junk shops in their quality and design. It's the NZ-themed sweatshirts that pulled me in, but I walked out with three pillowcases, a tea towel and an apron. If you're looking for a gift to bring home, skip the stereotypical Starbucks mug and head here. You'll pay a bit more, but you'll get some beautifully NZ-designed, high quality items. Just know that it'll be tough not to grab one for yourself while you're at it!

Everywhere is clean and there are many alleyways and shortcuts that takes you to discover new places. It's definitely touristy, and a little pricey. Though, if you need some normal groceries and water, I highly recommend 4 Squares Supermarket. We also went to Fergburger, Flame Bar & Grill, Aotea Gifts, took the TSS Earnslaw, and Erik's Fish and Chips. Overall, a nice place to roam around, especially with the beautiful Lake Wakatipu as a background. There are excellent restaurants and stores to eat and get souvenirs.

Big-time souvenir shops if you're an out-of-towner. I had pizza at three different stops and "Winnies" is easily the best one. Walk to the end and behold the sunset view of the docks. You get those pink-violet colors at the right time of year, which might be anytime of year it's not raining. #newzealand

The guestrooms have breakfast included, the cottages are self contained with kitchen, but for extra you can opt in for breakfast. There are several reasons this place is special: the hosts, the location, and the facilities. The hosts have been doing this for over 30 years because they have a passion for what they do. They are great people and they do a fabulous job of innkeeping. Michael made a lot of effort to give us many great recommendations on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. They also have traveled extensively and love to share their experiences. Nery's touch is felt by the ambience of the decor and interiors. I think they both spend a lot of time making the grounds beautiful. The gardens are beautiful. It certainly doesn't hurt that the location is nestled in the most gorgeous river canyon. It is simply breathtaking! Best of all, it's less than 5 minutes from all the craziness of Queenstown: traffic, masses of people, congestion. We couldn't wait to get back to our cottage every night, open a bottle of wine and sit outside and watch the river go by. If I could give a sixth star I would.
