Pro Tips
- 1.Book adventure activities like bungy jumping in advance online, especially during New Zealand's summer (December to February) when international visitors peak.
- 2.The resort is open 24 hours for guests, but book specific activities separately as they operate on different schedules and may require advance reservations.
- 3.Bring layers of clothing as Queenstown weather can change quickly, even in summer. Mornings can be cool with warm afternoons.
- 4.Consider staying overnight at the resort to maximize your time and avoid the 20-minute drive from central Queenstown, especially if doing multiple activities.
- 5.The on-site restaurant is family-friendly, but for fussy eaters, stock up on snacks in Queenstown or Arrowtown before arriving as options nearby are limited.
Best Time to Visit
Visit during New Zealand's spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) for mild weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices compared to peak summer. Weekday mornings are ideal for mini golf and activities when the resort is quieter. Summer (December to February) offers the longest days and warmest weather but expect more tourists.
What to Know
The resort is located about 20 minutes from Queenstown center near the charming village of Arrowtown. As a full-service resort, accommodation is available but not required to use facilities. Individual activities are priced separately beyond mini golf. On-site dining, parking, and spa facilities are available.
Seasonal Notes

Winter (June to August) is colder but offers proximity to world-class skiing at nearby resorts. Some outdoor activities may have weather-dependent availability, so always check conditions before visiting.
