It’s a very beautiful garden, must see in Queenstown.

Definitely made my trip to NZ worth while. I’ve never experienced a garden like it, thousands of flowers & amazing wildlife amongst man made creations. And the house tour was definitely worth it. Great customer service. Tried to add more photos we took of flowers but could only add 2 pics

This is truly a little paradise! The views are breathtaking... everywhere you look there are flowers, lush gardens and sculptures (made by the owner), with the mountains as a backdrop. It is peaceful and relaxing... and an inspirational place especially for artists. I also got a tour of the house, which is just amazing - with beautiful furniture and decorations made by the owner out of recycled wood. I am so glad I decided to visit!

We thought we were just going to look at a garden. BUT NO...this was a total mind blowing experience. We were greeted Christine and showed thru their totally unique lodge her husband has worked his artistic woodsmanship talent totally thru out the home. From the fish tank used as the water tank in the toilet to all the crafted wood. The breath-taking view from the kitchen window of the lake.We were shown the 2 Air B&B suites.Then outside to the garden. There was so much to see,it was hard to know which way to look. The gardens just amazing with sculptures doing yoga poses and placed throughout the garden giving the eye something to focus on. The ducks and birds and peacocks calling gave the atmosphere. There was a tree top curved staircase to climb which was amazing to view the property and views over lake Wakitipu. Finally we had the experience of feeding the birds,ducks and peacocks. The peacocks came so close to us and it felt almost intimate watching them put on a show with their feathers all out and their tails wiggling. You could feel the breeze as they turned around. This review I'm doing isn't doing Paradise Dream Garden any justice. It's an unforgettable experience and I totally recommend it to everyone.

Filled with artistic flair this unique lakeside Garden is so unexpected in this alpine environment. Truly, you will see surprising works of art created from organic materials and ingenious adaptions for normal household utilities like the bath.

My partner and I took the 3:30pm cruise on the Spirit of Queenstown yesterday, it was an awesome way to spend a few hours enjoying the scenery from a different perspective, I highly recommend this relaxing cruise if you have the time!! Thank you to the team at Real Journeys ??

Must do experience for the price it is offered at. They also offer a complimentary Tea/Coffee with it which is just what you need in the cold on the lake.

We booked this experience not expecting much, just a way to spend NYE afternoon before the festivities started. My first wow moment was when I saw the size of the boat we were on, then the size of the cheese platter amazed me , the pricing for all drinks were discounted from their menu to accommodate kiwis and the selection of wines were great! Locally produced wines from the best wineries for under $10 a glass!! The staff were amazing, went out of their way to be friendly, chat with you and tell you the history of the areas you see when on this trip. I highly recommend everyone to give this experience a go - you will not be disappointed!

Ben and Kat are fantastic. They seem passionate about their jobs and love Queenstown. All the gear was excellent. Safety briefing excellent and we were also provided with a two way radio. We paddled around Lake Moke. Awesome scenery with a little bit of wildlife around to keep it interesting. We had a fantastic time and we are very happy to highly recommend hiring Paddles and kayaking around lake Moke.

Riding through the valley and up to Moke Lake was a magical experience! There were spectacular views in every direction! Our guide Kim was lovely and knowledgeable, and our horses Munster and Tigger were great companions for novice riders like me and my husband. We highly recommend this trek!

My husband and I booked this at 9am in the morning, and I guess that it made the journey much better The sun wasn’t too strong, but we could still soak it up The lake was so calm and still that we could enjoy the view of mountains reflected on it The beautiful lady, Layna, who helped us to trek was very helpful and super nice even though my husband is not fluent in English The horses that took us were very gentle as well Everything was just awesome and beautiful, couldn’t be better :) I dare say it was the best moment in my life Thanks

The pilot gave us great views and good commentary, very helpful and we had a fantastic time! I only wish it could've been longer, not saying its not value for money, only that no matter how long it was, I would have probably asked for more!!!
