Up a level

 

High on a hill above Queenstown is a concrete block known as the Skyline. To reach it you take a cable car.

Serving cocktails and the largest buffet I've ever seen to hordes of Japanese tourists, this place does fairly well on the popularity stakes.

Its appeal is not the drinks, nor the food (both of which are excellent) but rather the use of glass throughout the structure to provide diners with an uninterrupted view of the surrounding mountains, the lake and town below.

Watching a sunset on a mountain range is amazing - the light passes through gaps in the surrounding hills providing pockets and streaks of light. Every colour and hue seems to take on a new dimension as light and dark mix.

A fitting place to toast our survival in the town where anything dangerous and dumb goes.
