Buffet lunch and dinner at the top of the Skyline Gondola on Bob's Peak, with Queenstown Bay and Lake Wakatipu below the windows.

Stratosfare sits at the top of the Skyline Gondola on Bob's Peak, so getting there is half of it: the ride up from Brecon Street, then Queenstown Bay, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains laid out below the windows.

The format is buffet, lunch and dinner. New Zealand produce leads — fresh seafood, locally sourced meats, seasonal vegetarian dishes, and a dessert bar that does most of the persuading. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are marked.

Window tables are worth asking for, and the dinner sitting either side of sunset is the one to aim at. Packages bundle the return gondola ride with the buffet. Sitting times shift through the year, so book ahead and check the time for your date — particularly in winter and over Christmas.
