This is a little guidebook on HOW TO TRAVEL QUEENSTOWN ON A BUDGET. Beginning with accommodation top choice to daily activities, to several food places. Queenstown can be very expensive but if you're just like me - always looking for the best value for your money, HERE are tips from me to you, so you can enjoy Queenstown and not worry about money.
P.S. None of these tips are sponsored!
1. Accommodation: A private en-suite with a small balcony and view at Nomads Hostel, cost me 65.53$ per night and 262.10$ for 4 nights. Great location, you don't need a car if you choose to stay here.
2.Public bus: in case you want to get out of the center, make sure to purchase a BEE CARD (available on any bus) for 5$, every ride will cost you 2$. Make sure to have cash on you, buses don't take bank cards.
