Bookings……Let us do the work for you.

Queenstown and the surrounding region has unlimited number activities to suit a wide range of interests. We would be happy to arrange any activities to help make your stay enjoyable. If you book through us, you will pay the SAME price as if you book it yourself. In addition, we have a great working relationship with many of the vendors so they always take extra good care of “The Turret” guests. Some of our favorite activities include….. Skiing and Snowboarding – The region features a number of ski fields. James and Kim have been skiing since they were small children. Let us know if you would like to go skiing and we will make your booking, assist with rentals, and check out the latest conditions. Also, ask James for a locals tips on some of the best runs or even better yet, for a small fee, James or Kim will drive you up to the ski field and give you a guided tour of the area.
Bungee jumping….No, Kim wouldn’t suggest it unless she gave it a try herself. How can you turn down the opportunity to jump off a bridge at the original birthplace of bungee jumping? Don’t want to jump? It is a very entertaining to watch others jump or just take a behind the scenes tour of the facilities. The Kawarau Bungee Bridge is about a 10 minute drive from the Turret. Jet Boating – One of New Zealand’s unique activities is jet boating and there are several companies to choose from in the area. Let us help you determine which trip is best for you….an adrenaline packed thrill ride or a more relaxed ride with pristine scenery. Wine tasting – The area features a number of great wineries. Want to enjoy the wine and not worry about driving, we can make arrangements for a wine tour by luxury car, small coach or a helicopter! Driving turn you off? Amisfield Winery and Bistro is walking distance from the Turret. You can taste the wine and enjoy the gourmet bistro food all while taking in the spectacular view.
This is just a sample of some the activities in the area. If you are interested in others, please ask and we would be happy to make some contacts on your behalf if we don’t already know about the activity/event. Please contact us at 03 442 1107 or by email at theturret@xtra.co.nz to make a bookings or set up a package of activities for your stay.

Heli-skiing - A great way to do some skiing and see the beautiful untouched mountain views is by heli-skiing. Will be happy to share our experiences with you and make the arrangements for your trip.
Helicopter Trip/Fixed Wing Aircraft - Nothing compares to seeing the area by air. We highly recommend as a part of your stay, you make time for a helicopter or airplane trip to see the pristine lake and mountain views. If you are planning a trip to Fiordland, we would suggest skipping the drive and going over by air for the day. The scenery is absolutely incredible and you have the opportunity to see terrain you would not normally see.
Sailing – Lake Wakatipu is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. What better way to see the lake than behind the helm of one of New Zealand’s very own America’s Cup yachts.
