Queenstown’s most exciting new hospitality precinct, Ayrburn, is set to take its iconic offerings to new heights this winter as it launches its inaugural mid-winter “Christmas Wonderland” experience.
Throughout July, the grounds will be transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with an ice-skating rink, magical Christmas decorations and dazzling light displays.
As snow falls, this will be a unique opportunity for locals and tourists to experience the magic of the holidays in the heart of New Zealand winter.
For the very first time, visitors to Ayrburn’s Christmas Wonderland will be treated to an array of enchanting experiences that blend the world’s favourite white Christmas activities. Inspired by the iconic light displays of Oxford Street, and the cosy charm of European après-ski culture, the month will see a fusion of festive traditions from around the globe.
Set to excite, Christmas Wonderland will feature a calendar of events and activities designed to ensure that all ages enjoy the splendour. Highlights include:
- Whimsical Light Displays: Wander through a landscape illuminated by spectacular light installations that will transport you to another world.
- Ice Skating: Glide across Ayrburn’s enchanting ice rink or watch on the sidelines with a mulled wine or hot chocolate to warm your hands, inspired by the elegance of St. Moritz. For experienced skaters as well as beginners, this activity is perfect for all ages and adds a touch of European winter charm to a visit.
- Après-Ski Experiences: Enjoy the ambiance of alpine-inspired après-ski with specialty beverages, live music, and cosy fires.
- Magical Christmas Decorations: Marvel at oversized ornaments, towering Nutcrackers, and festive decorations that will let your wonder take flight to a holiday dreamland.
- Family-Friendly Activities: From Elf Hunts to ice skating, plenty of activities will keep children entertained for hours.
- Romantic Spots: Discover enchanting spots perfect for romantic gestures, such as mistletoe moments under a canopy of sparkles and cosy corners to sip fine wine.
- Gastronomic Delights: Savour or sip on seasonal treats and gourmet delights from Ayrburn’s world-class hospitality, offering holiday favourites from around the world.
Ayrburn is the place to be for visitors to Queenstown this July, where guests can immerse themselves in the holiday cheer by spending the days and nights enjoying Christmas Wonderland’s melting pot of offerings.

Ayrburn Christmas Wonderland promises to be the perfect place to experience winter’s embrace, and anyone looking to relive the warmth, wonder, and whimsy of the holiday season in a winter setting.
