Queenstown
On the Oneworld web site the lounge search list Queenstown as below.
"Air New Zealand, Koru Club*
Location details: 2nd Floor Queenstown Airport Terminal
Opening hours: Daily 09:00-17:00
Operated by a third party on behalf of: Qantas"
Is it a mistake?

AFAIK QF pays for access to the koru lounge for some international passengers (ie on ZQN-SYD), but not for domestic passengers. I am unsure who exactly the access is for - some or all of business class, paid Qantas club, oneworld emerald, oneworld sapphire, QFF platinum/chairman's lounge/gold?

That makes sense. The ZQN lounge is fairly small (NZ doesn't allow guests for *G for example) so numbers with access have to be limited (particularly with NZ flights timed similarly to QF). If QF only has a few invites they can give out then makes sense to give them to high fare (ie biz) pax.
