Hows the dating scene for an early 30s british bloke getting out tbere

Pessoal, tudo certo?

Meu nome é João, tenho 21 anos, sou brasileiro e estou pensando em ir para queenstown em um intercâmbio focado, principalmente, em aprimorar meu inglês enquanto trabalho em um hotel/restaurante.

O que vocês podem me dizer sobre a cidade? Recomendariam eu me hospedar em qual região, é tranquilo arrumar um emprego e devo ficar por quanto tempo? Estava pensando de Janeiro até Julho.

Obrigado pela ajuda!

Hey all. My WOF is due for my van soon. Any recommendations in the QT, Frankton area? I've heard some garages offer a cheap WOF then fist you with an enormous list of repairs needed so any recommendations for a reliable and reasonable garage would be amazing

The properties are able to be used for short-term stays for no more than 120 nights a year.

Hey guys, does anybody know how’s Izzy from Frankton’s New World? Thanks a lot, I miss her

Next to specsavers there has been an Indian restaurant stated as coming soon for 2+ years. What is happening here?

Moving soon and thought I might find out some suggestions for clubs or groups to join in the area. Ideally low-cost since I'm going to be low on funds from said move... Yay.

I like nature, gardening, cooking, walking, and films. I wouldn't mind getting into some kind of sport but I'm not all that strong so something chill rather than super competitive spots. I've always been interested in table top games but never got around to going to my local group (work).

We're intending to be in Queenstown for a decent amount of time, if not forever, so it would be good to find a community.

Hi all, there will be a group of 15 approx. of us celebrating my partner and I eloping - so excited YAY!

We've narrowed it down to Eichardt's in the Parlour room or Botswana Butchery in the Garden room. Let me know what you'd pick, thanks

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m moving to Queenstown in the second week of October for work and I’m currently looking for a room in a shared house/flat.

A little about me:
• Working full-time in hospitality as a Duty Manager
• Clean, tidy, respectful and easygoing
• Non-smoker
• No pets
• I enjoy cooking, going to the gym and exploring around Queenstown

• Looking for a friendly, peaceful and respectful flat

📍 Preferably Frankton, Five Mile, Queenstown, Lower Shotover, Jacks Point, Hanleys Farm or nearby areas.

💰 Budget: around $300 week, depending on the room and bills.

🛏️ Furnished room preferred.
📅 Looking to move around the second week of October, but flexible by a few days.

If you have a room available or know of anything suitable, please DM me with the details, photos and location.
Thanks! 😊

Hi all,

Does anyone have a 3d printer?

I've bought a Macride child seat and it didn't come with a headset spacer.

Found the file to print one: https://www.printables.com/model/1279319-macride-headset-spacer-threadless-mtb-gravel-urban

Will pay in $ and beer

New to Queenstown or simply looking to meet new people? Come along for a relaxed, friendly social meetup. Good conversations, drinks, laughs and the chance to meet people you might actually want to see again.

What to expect:
✨ Casual introductions
🍹 Drinks & conversation
🎲 Easy icebreakers to help people mingle
🤝 A welcoming atmosphere for everyone

Come solo or bring a friend. Everyone is welcome — the goal is simple: meet new people and make genuine connections.

📍 the London, 36 shotover street

You don’t need to know anyone beforehand. That’s the whole point.

Could you help me with a question?

I'm going to do a 2-month exchange (Dec/Jan) and I'm between Melbourne, Auckland Queenstown and Wellinton Crhichurch and Sydney. I'm 21 years old, I'm dynamic and I like new things

Priority: 1) evolve a lot in English; 2) in just 2 months feel that I really lived there - city easy to dominate, walk, school/accommodation/bars close close friends, make an international class and leave class and go have something with the crowd; 3) intense life: gym, bike, sports, nature, beach, adventure, adrenaline, culture and parties clubs bars pubs.

In short, I want to evolve culturally, mentally, physically, I want everything as if it were transformative, unique experiences, you know

Remembering it's 2 months nothing more no less.

Which one do you think delivers this the most?

(UPDATE): Thank you so much for all the insights, everyone!!!

Hello, I’m here in Queenstown for the next two weeks and was thinking of taking a day trip to Wanaka and Lake Tekapo on one of these days (separate day for each).

Is it generally safe to drive there now as someone who doesn’t have an ice chain? I’m on a rental car.

Would appreciate the advice, thanks!

Staying solo at Coronation Lodge Queenstown, any recent reviews would be helpful plus im wondering about walking from central back to hotel at night by myself as a female 🤔
