Glenorchy is a small settlement nestled in spectacular scenery at the northern end of Lake Wakatipu. It is around 45 km from Queenstown.

Glenorchy is closed to many tramping tracks such as Routeburn track. It is also the gateway to the 'Paradise', where Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian were film.
Paradise is a rural locality where there is no cafe and no shop. Sheep and cattle farming is carried out here.
We had seen spectacular scenery in Queenstown. But we prefer the scenery in this peaceful and quiet rural locality 'Paradise' which showed us its unique beauty.
