If you have plans to head South to Queenstown this winter, you have likely scheduled a visit or two to Ayrburn. The sprawling hospitality precinct on the outskirts of Arrowtown has fast-become the place to be in the area, with something on offer for every age and proclivity, and despite there being an impressive year-round rota of events, and a number of eateries — each worth the visit alone, winter is when Ayrburn really comes into its own.
Adding further to its ever-present allure, this year, founder Chris Meehan and his clever team have stepped things up a notch—with plans to transform Ayrburn into a spectacular winter wonderland. The precinct’s inaugural mid-winter ‘Christmas Wonderland’ experience will see the grounds transformed with light displays, larger-than-life decorations, and even an ice skating rink to fully enliven the white Christmas experience.
Inspired by the iconic light displays of London’s Oxford Street, the charm and revelry of European après-ski culture, and the iconic ice skating at St Moritz, the month of July will see a fusion of festive winter traditions from around the globe come together at Ayrburn, with a full schedule of activities catering to all ages to factor into your seasonal plans.
