Make the Most of May Before Winter Arrives
May is that funny little in between season where Queenstown takes a breather.
The summer rush has eased, the winter crowds have not arrived yet, and there is finally a chance to enjoy the region without everything feeling quite so busy. It is also when some of the best deals start popping up, from activities and accommodation to food, experiences and car hire.
For locals and visitors, this is the perfect moment to get out for a road trip before winter properly kicks in.
A great time to explore
Before ski season traffic arrives and the roads start getting busier again, May gives you a quieter window to enjoy some of the best drives around the region.
Think crisp autumn days, easy parking, and a good excuse to go somewhere you have been meaning to visit for months.
A few easy favourites include Glenorchy, a Queenstown to Christchurch road trip, an Auckland day trip, or a simple mission for lunch, coffee, views, or a change of scenery.
We have already covered some great road trip ideas in our previous guides, including our scenic autumn day trip to Glenorchy, Queenstown to Christchurch road trip stops, and Auckland road trip ideas.
