You can't visit Queenstown without trying fish and chips by the lake.

Erik's Fish and Chips is a favourite among both locals and visitors, serving fresh, sustainably sourced seafood and classic Kiwi takeaway meals. Grab your order and head down to the waterfront for an easy family dinner with some of the best views in town.

Dining Out Doesn't Have to Mean Bringing the Kids Along

As much as we love family dinners, sometimes parents deserve a night out too.

Many of our visiting families choose to book a babysitter for an evening so they can enjoy Queenstown's incredible dining scene, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy a quiet meal together.

Our experienced babysitters can care for your children in your hotel, holiday home, or accommodation while you enjoy a well-earned night off.
