We hold 216 venues in Queenstown — 128 places to eat and 88 to stay. That makes it the 2nd-largest of the 117 towns and suburbs we cover in Otago, carrying 19% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 7th out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 19% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Queenstown skews 9 points away from cafés and towards restaurants, a pattern more typical of an evening trade. The full split is 24 cafés, 62 restaurants, 15 takeaways, 18 bars and 9 pubs.

58 of the 128 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (7), pizza (7) and steak house (4). Relative to the rest of the country Queenstown is unusually strong on steak house, breakfast and seafood — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 40 publish opening hours (19%), 7 are recorded as step-free, 26 have outdoor seating and 5 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.

For a bed, Queenstown runs to 88 listings — 50 hotels, 12 motels, 5 b&bs and guest houses, 14 hostels, 4 serviced apartments and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 57% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 41% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Dunedin (243), Palmerston North (187), Nelson (185) and Rotorua (263) — average 25% accommodation. Queenstown runs at 41%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 7 of the 216 venues in Queenstown carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
