Glenorchy Lagoon Boardwalk

Reviewed By KirstySky - Queenstown, New Zealand

Beautiful walk with reflections in the lagoon if you chance it on a fine and calm day. Takes about 40 mins to do the loop from the town centre depending on your walking speed and how long you want to sit on one of the benches to soak up the views.

Glenorchy Waterfront Reserve

Reviewed By kiwikessler - Feilding, New Zealand

Absolutely gorgeous stop - there is the shed just by the waterfront where many have taken a picture - then the vista of the three mountains together (which were in the hobbit movie) just a stunning place in NZ - turn left from the drive from Queenstown once you enter the town.

Isengard Lookout

Reviewed By FGG-DXB - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Brilliant lookout with spectacular nature & colours, especially enjoyable by people who have watched the lord of the rings and can relate to the place. The white gravel on the river bed is absolutely amazing and adds to the beauty of the scenery. A camera with a good zoom is a must. Allow about half an hour for the drive and visit from Glenorchy.

5. Glenorchy war memorial

Glenorchy war memorial

Reviewed By HeatherRichHarkness - Tauranga, New Zealand

What a great display giving information about the young men from this area who went off to war, and what happened to them. It was very sad reading the stories. Excellent display.
