“A fine place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Really spacious, with a nice livingroom (with a kitchen) and bedroom. I stayed in a downstairs room for 2 nights before hiking the Milford Track, and in an upstairs one for 3 nights following that. Good bathroom, and a nice place to sit outside. Very easy walk to and from town (hint: don't walk the steep hill on Stanley Street; instead use the pedestrian walk at the end of Camp st that leads to Coronation Drive). Doug and Jo are very nice and quite helpful about things to do (including teling me about the city bus out to Arrowtown and the Amistead winery/restaurant). Good place to do your laundry. I parked a rental car there the last night, and the parking is fine.

Room Tip: Upstairs has a nice view, but downstairs isn't bad either.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

This was the first place we stayed on our 2 week visit to the South Island. Very friendly, helpful hosts. One-bedroom apartment was very comfortable, with plenty of room for our luggage (there was an extra twin bed in the bedroom), large modern bathroom, kitchen with everything we needed. Coin operated washer/dryer available. Tight parking on motel property, but plenty of street parking - a very quiet, low traffic street. It is a downhill walk to town, so a bit up hill on the way back - if you like to walk and have come for the outdoors, it's a piece of cake.

Room Tip: We found the ground floor apartment convenient - didn't have to lug our stuff upstairs, but it l...

“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Very friendly, very spacious place to stay! We had a one-bedroom apartment - big front room with a kitchenette and everything you would need to cook a small meal, decent bedroom, and a clean bathroom - what more could you ask? Doug was great in helping us set up an itinerary and getting a couple of tours scheduled. It seemed he really enjoyed his job! Imagine that! I would definitely stay here again. We were 100% pleased.

“Highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

We stayed at Amity over Christmas and New Years and had a very enjoyable stay.
The owners and staff are friendly and make you feel very much at home.
We had lots of space, the rooms were clean and had everything you could need.
There was on site laundry which was great, and a clothes line.
We arrived on Christmas day and they had left us out a box of chocs, how sweet!
They are all about the little touches, and for the $ you spend we felt it was money well spent.
