When Kevin Carlin first came to Queenstown he was advised to park his BMW in a shed and drive a ute around town.
“I was told to not be too flash, as people in New Zealand call it.”

“I was told to not be too flash, as people in New Zealand call it.”
More than 30 years after moving from the United States to the country he chose for its lifestyle and security, he has opened one of the flashiest hotels ever built in Queenstown.
The “more than five-star” 14-suite Carlin Boutique Hotel stretches seven stories above the central town.
Each of the interconnected suites has its own outdoor fire and spa pool, and a kitchen where private chefs can whip up a meal.
“We don’t expect our guests are ever going to buy eggs and cook,” Carlin said.
The toilets have remote controls that do everything from lift the seat to provide a massage.
The walls are marble and oak, the waste baskets and tissue holders are leather and embossed with the newly-developed Carlin crest.
If you are unfortunate enough to have one of the few bedrooms without a view over Queenstown, you will instead have a 65-inch television linked to a rooftop camera that provides a live feed of the outlook.
Guests who walk into central Queenstown but want a lift uphill home can choose to be picked up in a Bentley, Porsche or Maserati – or grab an e-bike from the available fleet.
A night in a one-bedroom suite starts at $1750 plus GST, while the three-storey penthouse goes for about $25,000 a night for seven bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, four spas, four backyards and four lounge rooms over about 510 square metres.

Resident Richard Newman has raised concerns that German Hill, which provides a prominent tree-covered backdrop to the west of central Arrowtown, is being denuded of its colourful larch trees.
“It’s environmental vandalism,” he said.
However, landowner representative Jo Booker said the larches were invasive pests that were spreading into the surrounding back country.

With its seasonal beauty, quiet one-way main street, and heritage status, Arrowtown is a popular spot for overseas visitors and has often been marketed to wealthy internationals.
But through the Covid-19 pandemic it has been hungry locals and loyal shoppers that have kept businesses on their feet to a greater extent than their neighbours in struggling Queenstown.

Dunedin City Council’s ‘’Totally Georgeous’’ project lead, Glen Hazelton, described the plan as a distinctly Dunedin design with a mana whenua framework.
In 2021, the contentious decision to turn George St one-way allowed for one half of the road to be turned into productive space, while retaining the same number of car parks.
The design of that space was revealed on Wednesday. At a budget of $28.2 million, the three blocks in the retail quarter will have their own theme.
See some artist's impressions below (plus a photo of current George St) and read more about the new plan www.stuff.co.nz....
