Surrounded by striking scenery, Queenstown is home to incredible natural beauty, from the Remarkables mountain range to the shores of Lake Wakatipu. For guests who wish to explore the landscape from the ground, we recommend hiking. There are a range of hikes to choose from varying in level and duration, suitable for every individual.

The four golf courses in the region are less than 30 minutes from The Spire, backdropped by inspiring views and equipped with exemplary facilities. With the opportunity to play from some of the most picturesque courses in the world and incredibly diverse landscapes, including a par 3 4500ft high, there is more than one perfect course for the golf enthusiast visiting Queenstown.

Central Otago is the southernmost wine-producing region in the world. Built on a foundation of passion and ingenuity, the region is home to world-class pinot noirs and a wealth of other varietals. Renowned for its dramatic landscape, we encourage our guests to experience this incredible wine region and discover more about the journey from vine to bottle with a wine tour.

Transport and gear hire is easily arranged and the closest ski field, Coronet Peak, is only 20 minutes from the hotel.

Milford Sound

Deep within Fiordland National Park lies Milford Sound, one of New Zealand’s top natural attractions. Milford Sound is shrouded in magic; a place where fiord cliffs rise vertically from dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade from as high as 1000 metres. The Spire offers all-inclusive services to Milford Sound, including helicopter trips departing Queenstown. This is regarded as the ultimate way to experience this incredible terrain, promising enhanced visibility and unrivalled safety.
