I visited Queenstosn in December 2023. What an amazing place, the unbelievable nature and in top of that there are tons of activities you can do. In general, the quality of food is great in New Zealand. Queenstown is a very safe town for female solo travelers.

I felt not safe in Queenstown when I risked booking a mixed hostel room. It was only me and another guy. However, I ventured for sex from me subtly. I said no. Then he left the room and never came back. Tbh, I was afraid he was gonna come back but I didn’t let the reception know or ring the police. That was a lucky miss for me. Other than this experience, everything else was impeccable.

Queenstown is beautiful and perfect for all kinds of outdoor adventures. I spent two months traveling around New Zealand, and this was my favorite place. I stayed at JUCY Snooze. They have female dormitories with capsules there, so you can have some privacy. You pull down a curtain and inside there is light, outlets, and ventilation.
