The Adventure Capital

The reality of moving to Queenstown

The Adventure Capital Moving to Queenstown 101 Moving to the “Adventure Capital” is something people do to have it all. Think epic ski fields, endless days on the water, incredible food, and drink, and just a beautiful life! Moving toQueenstown however is going to be challenging and a bit of planning needs to happen.

The city centre consists of lots of dense apartments, with hardly any parking/loading bays.

Families are also being squeezed out and pushed towards the new areas like Frankton, Remarkables Park and Lake HayesEstate. Many of those people that have come to Queenstown to take advantage of work within the hospitality sector and skiing are forced to live through the renting cycle which means many of us are in need of short-term storage between leases. Whether you have moved to town to work in Tourism, retired here, or have come up with your young family for an awesome life in theWakatipu Basin, we at NZ Movers want to make your transition smooth sailing by understanding your unique circumstances.
