We loved this beautiful track. It’s mostly uphill, so pace yourself and enjoy a slow, steady climb. Along the way, there are a few perfect spots to stop, catch your breath, and snap some great photos. The scenery is full of lush trees and peaceful nature, making the walk as relaxing as it is rewarding. We really enjoyed it and would come back to do it again. You can also bring something cute to put alongside other fairies.
Great accessible walk located 5 minute drive from the town centre with plenty of parking. Well maintained walk track that I would happily take my young children on. Great views once you get to the Basket of Dreams and cute little fairy forest that the kids would enjoy. Super easy traverse down and spotted some deer and goats too. No bathrooms or water facilities so make sure to go toilet before you start and bring some water.
The walk itself is quite steep and there is nothing to see on the journey up due to the tree coverage. At the top there were some lovely views of the mountains but no view of Queenstown due to the tree growth. You can probably get a better view from the gondola. I personally think there are probably better hikes in the area with more to see
One of My Favourite Hikes on the South Island – Queenstown Hill WalkwaynnQueenstown Hill Walkway quickly became one of my favourite hikes during my South Island adventure. It’s a relatively easy walk — it took me about an hour to reach the top and just 15–20 minutes to come back down — but the rewards at the summit are absolutely next level.nnI did the hike early in the morning, which made the experience feel extra special. I had the trail and the summit mostly to myself, and that peaceful solitude was something I’ll never forget. I ended up spending a good 4–5 hours at the top, just soaking in the scenery — watching planes land and take off in the distance, taking in the incredible panoramic views of the lake, the clouds rolling over the snow-capped mountains, and the serenity all around.nnIt’s the kind of spot where time slows down and you’re just present in the moment.nnI would highly recommend this walk to anyone visiting Queenstown — whether you’re a serious hiker or just looking for a rewarding morning stroll. I’ll definitely be returning to do it again. An unforgettable experience and a perfect way to take in the beauty of the South Island.
Moderate difficulty trail. 5.3km return. Steady incline all the way to the top. Took me about 2 hours with plenty of stops to admire the views.nThere are a few lookouts along the way but none of them compare to the 360 panorama you have at the summit.
