Recommended Travel Adaptor for Queenstown
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Queenstown is often combined with trips to Australia and Fiji. It’s smart to double-check the plug info — even nearby regions may use different systems.
Sockets in Queenstown
Queenstown uses Type I plugs and sockets.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A voltage converter only helps if the supply is different. In Queenstown the mains voltage lines up with the UK, so there’s no need.
Before using your gadget overseas, glance at the voltage mark. Anything showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will be fine without a voltage converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Beyond your adaptor, a few clever travel items can make life on the road so much easier. A luggage scale saves you money, a power bank keeps you powered up, and packing cubes keep your clothes tidy. They’re simple, practical, and genuinely useful.
