All about Queenstown Airport
One of New Zealand's top destinations for the outdoors is Queenstown, which is situated on Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by stunning snow-capped mountains. Most internationals won't associate New Zealand with skiing, but Queenstown’s Cardrona, Coronet Peak, and The Remarkables offer the absolute best access to favorable skiing conditions in the country. Hiking and camping are another major draw, especially during the summer months (Useful tip: these are flipped with the northern hemisphere’s seasons).
Queenstown International Airport is how most travelers reach the city and surrounding natural areas. It's situated just outside of town and provides easy access to hotels and resorts along with tours and landmarks. Anyone looking to get to the mountains right after landing could certainly benefit from luggage storage in Queenstown. Bounce has Queenstown luggage storage locations that are ideal for outdoorsy travelers looking to hit the slopes or even go bungy jumping.

How to get from the airport to Queenstown Central Business District
Queenstown is a fairly small outpost surrounded by rugged terrain, so don't expect much in the way of public transportation outside of a few bus routes. Most travelers will either rent a car or rely on a free shuttle service or taxis to get them to town or their mountain resorts.
Bus connections from ZQN to the City Center
The Queenstown Bus Network, although small, is highly efficient at getting travelers to the center of town. Once you touchdown, you should be able to get to your hotel or the Queenstown waterfront within 30 minutes.
- #1 Bus: Queenstown CBD (20) minutes, Queenstown Wharf (24 minutes)
Taxi and rideshare to the city center
Taxis and rideshare apps like Uber are readily available from the airport, and the average trip to the center of town is about 15 minutes and costs between $45 and $60. The mountain resorts are a little further away but are reachable within 30 minutes.
Car rental for outdoor destinations
Depending on how long your trip to New Zealand is, it could be advantageous to rent a car to more easily navigate between mountain destinations or other cities in New Zealand. While there may be added expense, these will be some of the most scenic drives you'll ever get to experience.
Points of interest
- Coronet Peak: One of New Zealand’s best skiing destinations is a 30-minute drive or cab ride from the airport.
- Lake Wakatipu: This gorgeous inland lake can be reached by taking the #1 bus or cab (25 minutes) to the city’s waterfront, where you’ll find boat rentals and tours.
- Queenstown Hill Trailhead: The most popular hiking route begins right in town, and you can get here from the airport in about 35 minutes by taking the #1 bus into town and walking a few minutes to the trailhead.
Leave your bags anywhere in Queenstown after you've touched down at Queenstown Airport
If you're traveling to Queensland, you're likely hoping to get out of the city to enjoy the magnificent mountains and Queenstown Trail or get out onto the water on Lake Wakatipu. So don't lug the bags around all day, and certainly don't waste time by heading directly to the hotel just to drop them off. Book Queenstown Airport luggage storage at a convenient and secure Bounce facility so you can enjoy everything Queensland has to offer as soon as you land.
