Hodges, Director of Colliers Rural & Agribusiness in Otago and Southland, says the surrounding areas are populated by multiple species of deer and the native bush attracts birdlife.

"The climate in the area is considered sub-alpine.
"In the summer there is up to 16 hours of daylight and warm, dry days. Winters are usually cool and clear with snow typically staying on the mountains; however, it can fall in the area during winter months."
Robertson, Tourism Development and Business Broker at Colliers Queenstown, says the site offers unrivalled tranquillity and the ability to connect with some of New Zealand s most pristine natural landscapes, all while being able to reach Queenstown.
"With its sought-after mix of outdoor pursuits, wineries, and popular hospitality spots, Queenstown remains a must-see destination for international and domestic travellers," Robertson says.
"Queenstown continues to rebound strongly from the challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and provides the convenience of an international airport."
