Take a frisbee to the Queenstown Botanic Gardens, they have a free frisbee gold course, we played there for the first time, had a hilariously good time.

5.0/5
Multiday bike through Central Otago landscape.
Free, but for $10/day they will drop your bags off at each campsite along the way. Do it in April for amazing autumnal colours.
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Banks Peninsula ▷
4.0/5
A great walk to get a slice of Banks Peninsula scenery, views into all the major bays.
A good idea is to have one group start at Port Saddle, the other at the Summit Saddle and swap keys halfway for a great 1/2 day walk.

1.0/5
This campground houses a lot of seasonal workers and overcharges.
It is noisy +++ because right beside train tracks and locks you out of its facilities really early in the evening. Would not go back.

Pay to hire kayaks for 1/2 day.
Paddle through tranquil lagoons or go at night on the Kiwi spotting adventure. Saw my first kiwi in the wild!

Fantastic location by a beautiful bay.
Nice inland walk beside a river, and right next to a great coastal walking track. Basic facilities but in good condition. Toilets and cold showers.

This walk takes you along an old mining/railroad track along beautiful West Coast river to some pretty impressive waterfalls.
Great views, but not too strenuous.

Very clean and reasonably price campground.
Best of all there is a walk through farmland behind the campground to fantastic glowworm caves, nice activitiy at the end of the bay.
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Glenorchy ▷
5.0/5
$50/night, but the best tramp I have ever done - astonishing and varied views, the huts in unique locations.
Be aware of difficult logistics as you start your tramp in Fiordland and end up near Glenorchy - not a circuit tramp.
