Glenorchy is a small village at the head of Lake Wakatipu, about 54 km from the airport. The route passes through Queenstown and continues west on the Glenorchy-Queenstown Road, which follows the northern shore of the lake past Sunshine Bay, Bob's Cove and Bennetts Bluff, with many bends and viewpoints over the water. The road is sealed and toll-free but narrow in places, and in winter ice on the shaded sections can slow the drive. Fuel and services along the way are limited.
The village has a general store, a few cafes and lodges, and a small wharf with the red wooden shed that is its best-known landmark. A short walkway loops around the Glenorchy Lagoon behind the village. Glenorchy is the starting point for the Routeburn, Greenstone and Caples tracks, whose road ends lie further up the Dart and Rees valleys, and for jet-boat and horse-riding trips. Paradise and Kinloch lie a short drive away on gravel roads, and the surrounding valleys appear in many film locations.
Public transport: There is no public bus from the airport to Glenorchy: the Orbus network ends at Sunshine Bay on the western edge of Queenstown, and Glenorchy lies about 45 km further along the lake.
