How To Do A Long Weekend In Queenstown If You’ve Chewed Up All That Sweet Annual Leave

With borders opening and restrictions easing this year, no one would blame you if you’ve eaten through most of your annual leave. But there’s so much catching up to do. Should we really let an allotted amount of days per year prevent us from seeing a world we weren’t able to for two years? We think not. Now we all know New Zealand is bloody close to Australia. Queenstown is literally three-to-four hours away from our East Coast, making it a superb choice if you can’t mess around with days of transit time or piss off your boss by going into arrears. With an enormous amount of flights now landing in New Zealand’s South Island hotspot daily, we’ve put together a three-day, snow-free Queenstown itinerary. Whether you work remotely or partially for one of the days, use one annual leave day to take or want to take a sicky for the Friday or Monday — that’s your call and we will not be held responsible for any work-related consequences.
