Lake Wakatipu (Queenstown) 🚤

#tesaruonbudget The heart of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, is an attraction in itself. Surrounded by mountains, the lakefront is free to enjoy with walking paths, swimming spots, and picnic areas. The Queenstown Gardens sit on its edge, adding even more budget-friendly activities. Watching the TSS Earnslaw steamship cross the lake is iconic and costs nothing if you just watch from shore. Sunset over the Remarkables reflected in the lake is unforgettable. For #tesaruonbudget travelers, Lake Wakatipu is proof that in Queenstown, you don’t need to pay for adventure—the scenery is enough.
