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.
