Good to know
Cosy up by the fire
When the snow falls, there's no better seat than one by the fire.
Some of the places to eat and drink in Queenstown mention a fire or fireplace, in the operator's own words or in a Queenstown NZ story. Warm up with a mulled wine, a hearty meal or a glass of pinot noir, and ask for a table near the fire when you book.
