I’ve been there once which was enough for me
After taking a jet boat trip or two full of mosquitos as big as tsetse flies
Being fleeced at ever possible conceivable point in time
Exorbitant over priced accommodation
I couldn’t wait to get out of the god forsaken place
Over rated over priced over exaggerated
Full of carpet baggers and other vile elements
Totally agree. If you don’t drink to excess or engage in some sort of extreme death wish type of sport, stay away from the place. You can only look at the Remarkables once and Lake Wakatipu is creepy,. The only thing Queenstown has going for it is the super charged advertising – a type of hyped up international brainwashing to convince everyone what a great place it is.
