Win a Queenstown Winter Escape for Two, including a Cardrona Ski Resort Experience, Valued at $10,000

Enter now for your chance to win the ultimate winter adventure at Cardrona – New Zealand’s biggest ski resort – and beyond. Valued at AU$10,000, this seven-night escape for two takes you from the snow-capped peaks of Cardrona and Treble Cone to the serene fiords of Doubtful Sound, with return Qantas economy flights (up to the value of $2,300), five nights accommodation at Sudima Queenstown Five Mile, five days car hire with GO Rentals, five-day ski passes and a two-night RealNZ cruise through Fiordland.

Your getaway starts in Queenstown: in the winter, the city becomes a bustling alpine hub as the snow-capped Southern Alps draw skiers, snowboarders and après-ski aficionados alike. Check into Sudima Queenstown Five Mile hotel, the new 4.5-star hotel in the bustling Frankton area, and conveniently located close to surrounding ski fields and award-winning eateries, topnotch wineries and spectacular, untamed nature.

With a hire car courtesy of GO Rentals at your disposal for five days, you’ll be able to explore Queenstown’s scenic backroads and hidden lakes.  

Head straight to Cardrona, New Zealand’s biggest ski resort, where your five-day ski passes unlock over 600 hectares of terrain, including Soho Basin with its brand-new 6-seat chairlift, and even more on-mountain dining options. Whether you're finding your feet or chasing off-piste powder, Cardrona's wide-open slopes and epic views offer a winter playground like no other. Your passes also give you access to Treble Cone, known for legendary terrain and jaw-dropping alpine views, so you can experience two iconic mountains in one unforgettable trip. To take your skills to the next level, enjoy a Premium Private Full Day Lesson for two with one of Cardrona’s expert instructors.

After getting your thrills among the action-packed ski fields and Queenstown’s buzzy urban scene, it’s time to switch gears. Departing from Lake Manapouri, a two-night Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise with RealNZ guides you through Fiordland’s mist-veiled depths. As you sail through the glacier-carved sound – the deepest of New Zealand’s fiords with a span of 40 kilometres – you’ll admire rainforest-cloaked cliffs, tumbling waterfalls and look for the local inhabitants, including bottlenose dolphins and tawaki (Fiordland crested penguins), before falling asleep in utter peace. 

Wrap up your adventure in classic Queenstown style with dinner and a show. Cruise across Lake Whakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm where a buffet of wood-fired meats, local produce and desserts awaits at the onsite homestead restaurant. Later, watch the resident farm dogs showcase their athletic prowess and then wander the lakeside gardens. Toast to a trip you’ll never forget as you sail your way back to Queenstown.
