Summer is almost upon us this November.  We wish all our guests and friends competing in the Queenstown Marathon on November 16, a fantastic day and all the best.  We will be watching!

This November in Queenstown the Arts have taken over the district.  Queenstown is playing host to some of New Zealands best comedians, holding its first ever Writers Festival,and has several excellent theatre performances going on.  So put your thespian hats on and support our growing Queenstown Arts Community.

Nick Rado is one of New Zealands best comedians of the decade and Remarkably Funny is bringing him to Queenstown for not one, but two laughter filled nights. Rado is head writer and a regular guest on 7 Days, 4-times Best MC winner at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards and has twice been nominated for FRED Award (for best show by a NZ’er in the NZ International Comedy Festival). He will be hosting the montly Remarkable Funny comedy night on Nov 12 and performing his own show on Nov 13. Both nights will feature a long line up of Queenstown’s funniest folks. If you’ve enjoyed watching Queenstown Comics honing their craft on the open mic night, you won’t want to miss them showing off their A game in the company of one of NZ’s finest . Get your tickets from EVENTFINDA.

Bring out your pens and dust off your dreams of writing that screenplay., because this year Queenstown is hosting it’s first ever Writers Festival. What was just an idea floating around a group of friends, May 2018, they decided that Queenstown needed its own Writers and Readers Festival. A committee was formed and after many months of planning The Queenstown Writers & Readers Festival will take place on November 9 and 10. The Writers Festival is a chance to bring writers and readers together to celebrate the written word in many forms, novelist, poets, childrens writers and non-fiction writers will share their stories with local audience during this inaugural festival. Workshops for aspiring writers are also offered.  So if you are on holiday and you find that mountain inspiration, check out the website and head along to one of the workshops offered .

 We still have availability for your summer holiday in Queenstown in December, January and February. From all of us here a Queenstown Holiday Homes, we wish you a happy summer and safe travels wherever they take you.
