5. Hilton Eforea Spa ideal for a whole day out
 
The Hilton in Queenstown is a 20 minute drive or enjoyable water taxi out of town, making an afternoon at Eforea Spa the perfect girls's day out. With countless treatment options, our top recommendation is a full mani pedi.
 
The nail treatment room overlooks the north end of the stunning Lake Wakatipu, making this your most picturesque pedicure yet.  Each treatment at Eforea Spa entitles you to use of the Hilton's spa amenities including lap pool, fitness centre, hot tub, sauna and steam room.  If you are getting your nails done, enjoy a glass of local New Zealand bubbles while your polish dries, before heading downstairs for a splash. Luckily, the pool and amenities are all inside, making Eforea the perfect destination any time of year in Queenstown's temperamental weather.
 
If you are not ready to head back to town, wander down to the Pinot Pit and enjoy a glass of local wine by the fire, before taking the water taxi or complimentary shuttle back to the CBD to show off your new nails.
