What is Queenstown's best-kept secret?
Definitely the star gazing. The night life is great but you can't beat the night sky down here. A close second is my rainbow-coloured deck at home in Arthurs Point.
The place you must break the bank for and hire a helicopter to experience - and
you'll thank yourself forever?
Everybody should go to the ledge on Cecil Peak. It's the shortest flight you can take but it's stunning up there. I've been lucky enough to get up there a few times with work, including playing in a family band to 130 guests. It was mental.
The best thing to do without having to fork out any folding?
Hands down, the people-watching. A plethora of characters descend on Queenstown every day. My favourites are ski goggle-wearing pedestrians in winter and helmet-wearing coffee-drinkers in summer.
Where are some of the best trails with the fewest people?
The walk around Moke Lake is my favourite, I was out there the other day and saw only one woman. She smiled at me and said hello. It was delightful.
What to do if you aren't interested in snow?
You can't beat finding a nice spot to just sit and look at a snow-covered mountain at sunset. Snow makes for a good sunset canvas and you'll be introduced to a new palette of sunset colours.
