We booked an earlier than usual flight back to Auckland because we didn’t want to get caught in traffic. However, before leaving Queenstown, we went back to The Nugget Point Hotel to “claim” our breakfast 😉
Overall, we spent an average of $120 NZD per person, per day exploring Queenstown. This cost included airfare, accommodation, land transportation (car rental and petrol), food and drinks (breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner, and dessert), other grocery items, activities. It might seem expensive, but if you are to explore Queenstown on a budget and eat in the same restaurants and have an itinerary like ours, it will probably cost you an arm and a leg.
