Five Mile Shopping Centre: Shops, Map, Hours Queenstown

If you’re heading into Frankton from Queenstown’s town centre, you’ll hit a stretch of Grant Road that rewards anyone who loves a well-organized shopping run. Five Mile Shopping Centre sits right next to its neighbour Queenstown Central, creating a retail precinct that pulls together everything from fashion boutiques to a large Countdown supermarket under one (mostly uncovered) car park. This guide maps out what’s actually there, where to park, and how the whole place fits into a Queenstown visit.

Five mile shopping centre shops

Five Mile Shopping Centre brings together fashion outlets, home ware retailers, and entertainment options under one roof—or at least under one generous car park canopy. The official directory lists dozens of tenants, making it one of the most comprehensive retail destinations in the Frankton precinct.

Fashion stores

Fashion-conscious shoppers will find a decent range of outdoor and lifestyle brands here. North Beach (Shop 34, 20 Grant Road) stocks outdoor apparel with hours Mon–Wed and Fri–Sun 9am–6pm, Thu 9am–7pm. Alta, Mons Royale, and Kathmandu cater to adventure-seekers wanting gear suited to the Queenstown environment. Number One Shoes and Skechers handle footwear, while Look Sharp and Boardertown cover general streetwear.

Home wares

Home ware shopping is well-served by The Warehouse, Briscoes, and Bed Bath & Beyond (listed on the official directory). These three anchors make Five Mile a practical stop for visitors staying in Frankton or nearby holiday homes who need to kit out a kitchen or update soft furnishings.

Entertainment options

Entertainment and leisure tenants include EBGames for gaming enthusiasts, Flex Fitness and Reform Fitness for gym-goers, and Moss Spa for relaxation. The Podium Bar & Restaurant provides a sit-down dining option within the precinct itself.

Banks and services

Clinical stores

Health and wellness services include FiveMile Pharmacy, Mountain Lakes Medical, Queenstown Health, Queenstown Natural Health, and Move Physio. The presence of multiple health providers makes Five Mile useful for travellers who need prescriptions filled or access to a physiotherapist after a day on the slopes.

Five mile shopping centre map

The centre map on the official site shows the ground-level and basement layouts with tenant positions marked. Visitors can identify The Warehouse, Noel Leeming, Sudima Hotel, ASB Bank, and North Beach from the published map, though not every individual store slot is labelled in the public-facing version.

Parking map

The basement car park carries a 4-hour time limit, while the main street-level car park allows up to 3 hours. With over 1,000 free spaces spread across both levels, parking is rarely the pain point here that it becomes at central Queenstown retail spots on summer weekends.

Store layout

The precinct is essentially one long stretch along Grant Road, with Five Mile on one side and Queenstown Central on the other. The pedestrian connections between the two are straightforward—it’s a flat, short walk across the shared car park area. The Sudima Hotel sits near the Five Mile entrance, giving hotel guests a convenient retail buffer.

Access directions

From central Queenstown, take State Highway 6 south toward the airport and you’ll hit the Frankton retail precinct within about 8 minutes by car. From Queenstown Airport (which shares the same name but sits in a different location), Five Mile is a 5-minute drive east along Grant Road. Bus Route 1 connects central Queenstown to the Frankton Bus Hub, which sits roughly a 15-minute walk away from the centre.

Five mile shopping centre opening hours

The centre itself operates consistent seven-day hours, though individual stores may vary from this baseline. Checking specific retailer websites or calling ahead remains the safest approach if you’re planning a precise shopping window.

Weekday hours

General hours run Monday through Friday from 9am to 5:30pm. The Warehouse and major retailers generally match these hours. Banks typically close earlier—most ANZ, ASB, and BNZ branches shut at 4pm on weekdays.

Weekend hours

Saturday and Sunday see the same 9am–5:30pm window for most tenants. Individual variation applies: North Beach, for example, trades 9am–6pm on Saturday and Sunday with a later 7pm closing on Thursday. The Countdown supermarket usually stays open through this window as well.

Holiday schedule

Five Mile’s proximity to Queenstown’s tourism cycle means holiday trading hours can differ significantly from the standard schedule, particularly around Christmas–New Year and the ski season shoulder periods. Most major stores observe public holiday closures on Christmas Day and Good Friday, but trading patterns on other holidays (such as Anzac Day or Labour Day) may vary.

Five mile shopping centre restaurants

Dining at Five Mile skews toward quick-service and casual rather than fine dining. The precinct’s food outlets are functional rather than destination-worthy, which is entirely practical given that most visitors are on a shopping mission.

Dining options

The main sit-down option is Podium Bar & Restaurant. Elsewhere, you’re looking at counter-service and grab-and-go: Dominos Pizza for a quick family meal, Tanoshi Restaurant for Japanese, Bollywood Restaurant for Indian, and Joe’s Garage for café-style food. Moinho Café, Billy’s Espresso, and Cafe Society handle the coffee-and-pastry crowd.

Cafes and eateries

Coffee options include Billy’s Espresso and Moinho Café—both small-format spots suited to a break between shops. Tank Juice provides fresh juices and smoothies, useful for hot Queenstown days when water bottles aren’t cutting it. None of these are destination dining, but they cover the basics comfortably.

Five Mile Shopping Centre is Queenstown’s newest and most exciting retail and business centre with shops, services, food and drink outlets and over 1,000 free car parking spaces.

— Queenstown NZ (tourism guide)

Five Mile Shopping Centre is not trying to compete with the boutique experience of central Queenstown’s Earnslaw Park or the lakefront shopping strip. What it offers instead is functional retail density—parking you don’t need to circle for, a Countdown that opens early, and enough variety across fashion, home, and services that a 90-minute Frankton stop covers most practical errands. The implication for visitors: if you’re flying into Queenstown Airport or finishing a trip there, routing through Frankton for a Five Mile run makes logistical sense. For hotel guests in the area, the centre removes the need to drive into town for basics. The trade-off is clear: convenience over charm, function over atmosphere.
