Art gallery as you go in with lovely local art work and then the museum in the back.

Queenstown Mall is essentially several street blocks of shops, boutique stores, restaurants, gift…read moreshops, a Louis Vuitton, and etc. It's a nice place to walk around in as it is centrally located near the Queenstown Gardens, Skyline Gondala, and Queenstown Bay. 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.

Hardly a long strip of mall but still the row you want to shop on. Also, in the evening hours the…read moresun doesn't hit the area so it's much cooler. 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

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!

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!
