When to rent a villa in Queenstown-Lakes District

Queenstown-Lakes District is a year-round destination, with each season offering its own unique charm. If you're looking for warm weather and long days, then summer (December to February) might be the perfect time for your villa holiday. The average high temperature during this period is around 20°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and water sports on Lake Wakatipu or Lake Wanaka. However, if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting in spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May), when the temperatures are mild and the crowds have dissipated.

If you don't mind cooler weather, then winter (June to August) might be the best time for your villa holiday if you're interested in skiing, snowboarding, or other snow sports at one of the nearby resorts like Coronet Peak or The Remarkables. The ski season typically runs from June to October, with July being the peak month. Additionally, many villas and resorts offer special deals and packages during this time, making it a great value for your money. Whichever time you choose to visit, be sure to pack accordingly and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Queenstown-Lakes District.
