Where to get the best views in Queenstown | South Island, New Zealand Vlog 1/5

In this first video of our South Island New Zealand road trip vlog, we touched down in Queenstown. Queenstown is arguably one of New Zealand's most well known and beautiful destinations. You're immediately treated to stunning and dramatic landscapes as soon as you arrive (or even before you touch down if you get a window seat on the plane!)
You're very much spoilt for choice when it comes to where to get the best views in Queenstown but for us we decided to soak in the magical views through horse riding as well as a hike up Queenstown Hill.
For our horse riding in Queenstown experience, we found Moonlight Stables which is located a very short drive away from Queenstown Airport. They're a fantastic family-owned horse trekking company with warm, friendly and experienced staff. We had such an awesome time at Moonlight Stables, meeting our horses and doing the Doonholme Farm Ride. They cater for all riding abilities from those completely new to riding through to experienced horse riders.
Moonlight Stables
Address: 69 Morven Ferry Road, Queenstown 9371
Hours: Mon-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm
www.moonlightstables.co.nz/
NB: Bookings are best made over the phone: (+64) 03 442 1229
For another place to get amazing views in Queenstown, we hiked up Queenstown Hill. It was quite a tiring climb to reach Queenstown Hill Summit but very much worth it. We were treated to views of The Remarkables (an iconic mountain range) as well as beautiful Lake Wakatipu and picturesque snowcapped mountains.
For dinner we ate a Vietnamese restaurant in the town centre called Saigon Kingdom. They have 3 sizes available for their tasty pho which was the perfect meal after a fun-filled but tiring day in Queenstown! Also since it's in the town centre and near the waterfront it's a great location to enjoy a leisurely walk about too.
Saigon Kingdom Vietnamese Restaurant
Address: 88 Beach Street, Queenstown 9300
Hours: Fri-Sun 12-9pm
Mon-Thu 12-2:30pm, 5-8pm
For our car rental, we used www.nz.kayak.com/New-Zealand-... to compare car rental prices. After finding the cheapest rate for our dates, we called up to ask for an even better price (often car rental places have wiggle room so it never hurts to ask!). We ended up with Snap Rentals who picked us up at the airport in a shuttle van, we then got our car and at the end of our South Island trip, returned it back to them and got a shuttle ride to the airport again.

    The elk are gorgeous. The view between locations was stunning. That's interesting to know you can't run a drone in Queenstown. Those little rock towers. It reminds Butters of what they call "Inukshuks".. they are statues that are made of rock by indigenous typically used as stone landmarks that the peoples of the Arctic use. That view from your hike!! WOW... that is something we would definitely enjoy. Love you guys went for Vietnamese food. That place looks beautiful, and the food looks even more delicious. Can't believe Peter got the Extra Large Pho!! LOLOL Thanks for taking us with you and love you guys to the moon!

I try and make sure they aren't over planned and so we have enough room for flexibility during a day if we enjoy something a lot and want to stay longer. We had to wake up around 5am for the early flight plus to allow time for vlogging at the airport and since we're late sleepers yen only got a couple of hours of 💤 😅 we are kinda used to it now but it did make that walk a lot tougher 😂 1 month only?
