## How to get there

The gardens are a few minutes' walk from central Queenstown, reached along the lakefront promenade from the town centre without needing a car or bus. The peninsula location means the park is bordered by Lake Wakatipu on several sides, and paths loop around the shoreline and through the planted grounds. Cyclists and walkers can continue along connecting lakeside trails beyond the gardens.
