We stayed at Amity Lodge in a two-bedroom family room during this winter season.
On arrival, the duty manager was kind enough to let us enter the room at 11am. The apartment had views over both the Skyline Gondola and the mountains on the western side.
The location is on a quiet street, 5 minutes walk up the hill from the Queenstown Gardens, and close enough to gorgeous little beaches off Adelaide St.
The living room is equipped with comfy chairs and a big couch, as well as a kitchen and dining table.
The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable.
While we felt this place was very expensive in comparison with similar accommodation in New Zealand, it does offer reasonable value during the expensive ski season in Queenstown.
This is a great place for a family to spend their Queenstown holiday, regardless of whether you have a car or you don't.

The motel itself is in a prime location for visiting Queenstown and the nightlife without having to use a car.
The rooms are pretty average for the price and could do with a touch up.
Owner was friendly enough and the laundry was well priced.
Overall a nice place to spend a night or two.

We really enjoyed our short stay at the Amity Lodge. The room was very clean and spacious. We liked the little touches like the heated blankets and the walk-in shower! The owner was very friendly and suggested that we take the scenic route to Lake Tekapo rather than the busy highway! Good call! The resident mascot "Carla" was such a sweet dog! Had fun playing catch with her! This place is also very close to the early morning pick up stop for the Milford Sound cruise tour- so it's at a very convenient location!
