Punatapu, Queenstown

"There's more to fishing than catching fish" when you stay at Punatapu near New Zealand's premiere resort of Queenstown.

Set in pristine alpine landscape, surrounded by dramatic mountains, Punatapu provides a natural and tranquil environment for fisher folk desiring best quality accommodations, friendly personalized service, customized New Zealand cuisine and award winning wines. Four unique and individually styled suites around a central courtyard offer magnificent mountain views, and privacy but best of all "a home away from home."

The opportunity to fish remote wilderness streams famous for both brown and rainbow trout is only minutes away by helicopter, boat or 4 WD from your door. Within a 100 mile radius a diversity of landscape is at your disposal for fun, excitement and extraordinary adventure.

Hosts Sue and Pat Farry have 30 years local expertise to co-ordinate activities in and around Queenstown and Fiordland.
