Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Queenstown Mall is one of the main areas in Queenstown. It connects Camp Street (where Cookie Time is) to the lake front (where Patagonia is). The pedestrian mall is lined with plenty of dining and shopping options on both sides. There are also quite a few interesting alleys along it which leads to other areas with more restaurants and shops.Some areas were being re done so there was a bit of scaffolding around but there was still plenty of room to walk around. There is also free Wifi in the area.
You will most likely end up here if you are wandering around Queenstown. The hard part is picking which restaurant to go to.

lovely outdoor mall. this is a walking mall and stretches for several blocks. it has some traditional mall stores with some local shops as well. while this is pleasant on a good day it would be miserable in heat or rain.

We visited at the end of May / 1st week of June 2021 and expected Queenstown to be very busy but, to OUR delight it was the opposite. It provided the opportunity for us to stroll through the mall and visit just about every shop. It was apparent that Covid 19 has adversely impacted the area and the "please-buy-from-me" look on many shop owner/manager faces left us feeling very guilty and sad.
Some shops were still very expensive and tailored for tourists but, the majority of shops had excellent prices/deals/specials at the time and we certainly spent generously....The restaurants that we visited in the Mall continue to provide excellent service and food. Shop staff were still friendly and very helpful. So, overall, Queenstown Mall was very pleasant to visit and we sincerely wish all owners/managers/staff well.

Taxi services - beware!
A ride from central Queenstown, up the hill to the Mercure originally cost us $28 (No meter).
Subsequent ride, reduced to $24 (Again, no meter - ‘negotiated’)
A couple of daytime solo trips (same distance) $14 / $15 (Metered, using a phone)
The taxi drivers seem to use their own phones as ‘meters’ - and when questionned, say they are ‘legal’ and can’t be manipulated. Sure.

Eerily quiet, you can definitely feel the effects of Covid where this once was a bustling place is just trying to survive the tide. Still good eating spots. I noticed in the souvenir shops their price tags are still the same - selling a medium sized soft toy lion for well over $120. Good luck I say.

Lots of choices for shopping and dining. There are both international brands and local businesses, with many nice items to buy and bring back home. For hungry folks, lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from.
Parking may be a problem, as there are only limited slots and they tend to fill up quickly. Paid carparks are available but the price is steep. And the roads are shared with pedestrians so be very careful when driving there.
Really beautiful of the lake and the mountains from the jetty.

Although relatively small, the Mall is densely populated with a variety of shops and eateries - has its own buzz and unique vibe. Spotted a Turkish place I will try next time. Lots of unfamiliar labels and brands but the designs were great. Close to the wharf/ pier area and worth exploring.

Lots of tourists around, I'm one of them! Most places pricy and parking extremely difficult. When booking accommodation make sure parking is included if you have car. I would probably stay out of town if I came again and use the bus. Walking tracks not well sign posted and some require walking on the side of main road. Better paths needed. Lots of places selling tours and experiences.

As far as Malls go, Queenstown Mall is small considering the other shopping strips in the town.
Having said that it is well maintained and has a good higher rating stores in there.
Well worth a look.

This street has a good selection of local shops and restaurants along it. The local produce is the more interesting aspect of the mall. There is also a very well stocked phamacist at the bottom end of the street

Are there clothes shops there ? Male business shirts ?? Are the shops walking distance from the Esplanade lake ?
Written 24 October 2019
I think you need to use NZ currency or simply use your credit card. Everywhere in Queenstown is within walking distance of the Lake. There is plenty of shopping available, so I'm sure you will find what you need. Cheers.

What food is available on Milford sounds tours
Written 27 July 2019
We choose a trip on milford cruises which was a smaller vessel, and in my opinion far better than the larger tour vessels, there was no food for the trip,as it was only for an hour or two, also been on the overnight Milford tour which i would recommend and the food was great, nice evening meal with plenty of choice and nice breakfast with all the usuals, had a bar also, nothing better than sipping wine looking down the Milford sound to absolute silence, food was included you pay for your drinks.
PERFECT.......

How hilly is it? My husband needs a walking stick and is fine on level ground but not hills. Thanks.
Written 11 August 2015
The Mall is fairly flat, getting around with a walking stick should be ok.
