Tāhuna (or Queenstown) - A resort town in Otago.
population: 16,000
The town is built around an inlet called Queenstown Bay on Lake Wakatipu and has stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The region was home to Māori long before Europeans arrived. It is likely Ngāi Tahu Māori visited Queenstown en route to collect Pounamu (greenstone). A settlement called Te Kirikiri Pa was occupied by the tribe of Kāti Māmoe which was situated where the Queenstown Gardens are today. Unfortunately, due to being a major tourist attraction, Queenstown is rated the least affordable place in New Zealand to buy a property. Many of the workers commute from neighboring towns.
