"A nice little town that is slowly growing"
Queenstown is an old but cute town located 2 hours south of Burnie. I firstly mention Burnie as, like others have recommended, shopping online or up the coast if somewhat essential. Whilst Queenstown does have the local shops and amenities you require they are expensive. E.g, Food can be very expensive as can the local marketplace. The only hairdresser in town is always to busy for a booking that week and they are horrible at men's hair.
If you have children the local schools are not that great as their policies are old and misandrists.
The hiking is amazing, local BMX is fantastic and there are a plethora of 4wd and dirt bike tracks around too.
Properties are very cheap but get a building inspector before you buy, DON'T BUY A HOUSE WITHOUT VIEWING. THE REAL ESTATE CAN AND DOES USE OLD HOUSE PHOTOS TO MAKE THEM LOOK BETTER and any DIY renovations get from Bunnings as locally is extremely expensive.
Who lives here?
- Families with kids
There is rarely a day when mail is not delivered due to being snowed in. The mail delivery truck and drivers are just as rugged and diverse as the West Coast its self.
Almost every online store delivers to Queenstown. The only trouble new residents to the West Coast will have is finding a property to purchase or rent. Property prices are skyrocketing due to all the new investments and projects on the West Coast.
And what about the 4x4 question? I would like to know too pls. Is it essential to have a 4x4 to live in Queenstown?
Hello lovely people of Queenstown, I just have a question about getting shopping delivered from Burnie in the winter months..do they really drive all that way to deliver your shopping and I dont have a 4WD so will getting in and out be really bad during the winter in my 4 cylinder hatchback, thank you
