Family Adventures: Fun and Luxury Queenstown Transfers

The Best of Both Worlds: Adventure and Ease

Queenstown isn’t just for thrill-seekers or honeymooners — it’s also an incredible destination for families. With its mix of natural beauty, world-class attractions, and relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to make memories that balance fun and luxury.

At QT Cars, we know that travelling as a family comes with its own rhythm — early starts, spontaneous stops, and plenty of laughter along the way. That’s why we design every transfer and tour around comfort, convenience, and connection.

Morning Magic — Lakeside and Leisure

Start your Queenstown family adventure with a stroll along the Queenstown Bay lakefront. Grab a coffee from Vudu Café & Larder, while the kids enjoy a treat from Patagonia Chocolates, or try their famous ice cream as you wander the waterfront.

For families who love exploring, a scenic transfer to Bob’s Cove is a must. The short bush track leads to a crystal-clear bay — perfect for skipping stones, a quick swim in summer, or a picnic surrounded by native bush and birdsong.

“Our driver even brought extra towels and bottled water for the kids after their lake dip — it was those small touches that made the day special.”

Midday Adventures — Action with Comfort

Queenstown’s adventure reputation means there’s no shortage of excitement — but luxury doesn’t have to mean giving up fun. Our chauffeurs often arrange days that combine both thrill and relaxation, including stops like:

• Skyline Queenstown, where families can ride the gondola, race down the luge, and enjoy panoramic views from the top.

• Kiwi Park, a hidden gem where children can learn about New Zealand’s wildlife and conservation in a hands-on environment.

• Frankton Arm Tavern or 1876, offering relaxed family-friendly lunches in local-style settings with hearty Kiwi food and outdoor space.

Transfers are scheduled around your pace — whether that’s a quick lunch stop or time to linger by the lake.

Afternoon Escapes — Little Moments, Big Memories

For families who enjoy the scenic route, a drive to Arrowtown is always a highlight. The charming streets, ice cream from The Remarkable Sweet Shop, and short riverside walks offer something for everyone.

In autumn, Arrowtown becomes a postcard of gold and crimson leaves — a photographer’s dream and a favourite among our chauffeurs for relaxed afternoon tours.

If you prefer something closer to town, head to Queenstown Gardens. QT Cars can arrange a drop-off and pickup while you enjoy frisbee golf, family photos, or simply a peaceful moment by the water.

Evening Comfort — Dining and Downtime

After a big day, families can unwind with dinner at one of Queenstown’s many welcoming restaurants. For casual elegance, Blue Kanu offers Pacific-inspired flavours in a vibrant setting. Public Kitchen & Bar on Steamer Wharf has lakeside seating ideal for sunset dining, and SODA Queenstown provides a fresh, modern menu perfect for both parents and kids.

As the evening winds down, your chauffeur will be waiting to return you safely to your accommodation — car warm in winter, cool in summer, and quiet enough for tired little travellers to nap on the way.

The QT Cars Family Experience

We understand that family travel is about more than getting from place to place — it’s about enjoying every moment in between. Our chauffeurs are:

• Local experts, ready with recommendations that suit every age and interest.

• Professionally trained, ensuring safety, comfort, and flexibility throughout the day.

• Discreet and dependable, managing logistics so parents can simply enjoy time together.

Every family tour or transfer can be personalised — whether that means fitting car seats for young children, adjusting routes for nap times, or planning the perfect mix of adventure and rest.

Queenstown is best experienced together — and at QT Cars, we make sure every journey feels effortless.
