Queenstown could be the honeymoon destination of choice for Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his wife Sakshi Rawat if an official invitation is accepted.
Destination Queenstown communications manager Jenny Andrews said Dhoni had previously visited New Zealand and "loved" the country.
The couple were married on July 4 and the request for an official invitation to honeymoon in the resort came from Tourism New Zealand India and Southeast Asia regional manager Kiran Nambia, Ms Andrews said.
"He [Dhoni] loved New Zealand and made a point [of saying] he might want to come here on his honeymoon."
In a statement, released to Indian media, DQ chief executive Tony Everitt suggested a "luxury lodge stay" for the newlyweds.
"We are thrilled to invite Mr and Mrs Dhoni to Queenstown to spend their honeymoon with us. I'm sure this will be the perfect romantic getaway for them.
"Luxury lodge stays are about experiencing the finest accommodation in the most comfortable, exclusive, private surroundings and choosing from a wide range of activities like golf, fishing, sampling exotic wine and lip-smacking cuisines, or plain soul-searching to snow-capped peaks, jewel-like lakes and lush green forests," Mr Everitt said.
