What to pack
New Zealand is generally a reasonably informal place, so smart casual clothes will be appropriate for most places you want to go, apart from high-end upmarket restaurants and bars.
Queenstown is an alpine region you can encounter cold weather any time of the year – and it’s not uncommon to experience four seasons in one day here!
A good way to prepare for this is to wear two or three thin layers of clothing, rather than one heavy layer. Fabrics such as merino wool are good insulators and great for layering and it’s important to pack wet weather gear if you are heading into the outdoors.
