From Proposal to Honeymoon in Queenstown: Couples’ Journeys with Us

Queenstown: Where Every Love Story Begins

Few places capture romance quite like Queenstown. Snow-capped peaks, shimmering lakes, and golden sunsets create the perfect backdrop for life’s most cherished moments. Over the years, QT Cars has had the privilege of helping countless couples mark their milestones — from that first “yes” to the first journey as newlyweds.

Each story is unique, yet they all share a common thread — luxury, privacy, and effortless connection. Here are just a few of our favourite memories from couples who celebrated their love with us.

The Surprise Proposal at Bennett’s Bluff

For Tom and Eliza from Auckland, the magic started with a secret. Tom wanted to propose somewhere breathtaking but secluded, so our team suggested Bennett’s Bluff Lookout — a quiet spot between Queenstown and Glenorchy that overlooks the lake and the Remarkables.

Our chauffeur coordinated the moment perfectly: champagne on ice, soft music, and a sunset timed to perfection. Eliza said yes with the entire Southern Alps glowing behind her.

Afterward, they enjoyed a private dinner at Amisfield, where staff had prepared a table overlooking the vines — and a discreet bottle of bubbles to celebrate.

A Culinary Celebration in Style

When Sarah and Nathan arrived from Melbourne for a romantic getaway, they wanted every transfer to feel like an experience in itself. Over three days, we arranged scenic drives and curated stops that captured the best of Queenstown’s dining and scenery.

Highlights included:

• Breakfast at Vudu Café & Larder, a locals’ favourite for lake views and artisan coffee.

• A long lunch at Akarua Wines & Kitchen by Artisan.

• A sunset visit to Bob’s Cove Jetty, where they dipped their feet in the lake and watched the colours fade behind the mountains.

• An evening at The Lodge Bar for fine wine, alpine ambience, and an unforgettable meal.

Their transfers were quiet, comfortable, and personal — just the two of them, taking in every moment.

“Our driver didn’t just take us places — he helped create our memories.” — Sarah

The Intimate Wedding by the Lake

Another unforgettable couple, James and Charlotte, chose Queenstown for their destination wedding. Their ceremony at Stoneridge Estate was followed by an intimate reception at The Winehouse in Gibbston Valley.

QT Cars provided a fleet of vehicles for the bridal party and guests, managing all transfers discreetly so the couple could focus entirely on their day. From ensuring bouquets and gowns stayed pristine, to timing the golden-hour photo session at Queenstown Gardens, our chauffeurs made every detail seamless.

“The whole day ran perfectly. Every car was spotless, every pickup was on time, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing.” — Charlotte

A Honeymoon to Remember

For couples who stay beyond “I do,” our honeymoon transfers add a touch of indulgence to exploration. Many choose a relaxed itinerary that balances local discovery with serene downtime:

• Soaks at Onsen Hot Pools or the newly opened Aluume Spa, blending mountain air with deep relaxation.

• Boutique shopping at Country Road, R.M. Williams, or UGG for souvenirs of comfort and style.

• Lakeside walks, a coffee at SODA Queenstown, and dessert from Patagonia Chocolates.

• A luxury day trip through the Gibbston Valley wine region, complete with private tastings and a scenic return drive.

Each transfer includes refreshments, climate control set to personal preference, and local insights — transforming simple transport into part of the honeymoon experience.
