Peak Leaders New Zealand

Winter in Queenstown is one long party that kicks off with the opening of Coronet Peak ski resort. Queenstown is the "adventure capital of the world": you can bungee jump, heli-ski, sky-dive, luge, horse-ride, ice-skate, jet boat - and of course ski and ride till you drop! The list goes on and on. With time off, everyone scrambles to all these activities whenever they can.

Accommodation And Food

This is stand-out aspect of this course!
Why settle for anything less? We stay in a 3 star hotel and include Breakfast and dinner 7 days. There's a bar, restaurant, gym, internet, tuning room and bowling alley in your home away from home for the season!!

At Queenstown we do not use hostel or self catering accommodation, meaning you can concentrate on the course, and are free of the hassle of groceries (supermarket shopping is expensive in QT) and shared-kitchen cooking at the end of the day. This is why we believe our course offers the best value for money!

Breakfast is buffet-style, with hot stuff, fruit salad, cereals, toast and fruit juices! - just what you need for the intense training on the hill. Dinner is a pre chosen dish of the day, or Asian Buffet. The meals are two courses and are of a very high standard.

 You stay in the superb Coronet Peak Hotel – closest hotel to New Zealand's premier ski-field, Coronet Peak and within easy driving distance of The Remarkables. The short 10 minute drive from Queenstown’s town centre is covered by hourly free shuttles. Rooms are 3 person and have en-suite bathrooms with bath and shower, tea and coffee making facilities, refrigerator, radio and colour TV with Sky. We also hang out in the bar, the restaurant, the spa, the bowling alley and an area affectionately know as "couches".

The hotel has wireless facilities, and plug-in wireless in your room! This is payable at the hotel for a very modest fee.

The tuning room has been especially installed for Peak Leaders and the course leader will show you all aspects of sharpening, waxing and repairing you gear. It’s there to use anytime- to keep your kit "sweet as" as the kiwis say.

 The course leader lives in the hotel and so can help you out with anything you need (and give you a score to try to beat in the bowling alley).

The hotel and its facilities make this course stand out!!
