Motel Autoline Queenstown is 5 minutes’ drive from the Skyline Gondola, and 20 minutes’ drive from Arrowtown. The Coronet Peak Ski Area is a 25-minute drive away.

Clean, wide, and everything you need is placed. It was a lovely place to stay. The bed is exceptionally large and comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with basic stuffs and some salt and pepper. The tea given warmed us up in the morning as when we were staying queenstown was a bit cold. Bathroom is quite wide as well. I would say it is not hotel as categorized, but I liked here more than the hotel! Felt very relaxed everytime I get back to the room.

This was a great stay! It was our second time in Queenstown, and we'll definitely stay here again in the future. The location is great, just a short (and scenic) walk into the center of town, and the room was bigger and much more modern than we expected! We were very pleasantly surprised.

Bella Vista Motel is within walking distance to the Queenstown city centre, the Skyline Gondala and Lake Wakatipu. It offers rooms with beautiful mountain views. Guests enjoy unlimited free WiFi.

The property offers a range of studios and apartments for guests to choose from. All studios have kitchenettes, which include tea/coffee making facilities, a refrigerator, microwave, kettle and toaster. The apartments have a full kitchen (excluding a stove top). All rooms come with TV, hairdryer, fan and safety deposit box. All rooms are serviced daily, if requested.

We rented the 3bdrm apartment, which is a studio with queen bed, with a door connected to a 1bdrm (two twin beds) and a large living area with a king bed plus dining plus the kitchen. Kitchen is very well equipped, in fact with most items sparkling clean like brand new! There is no stove, but there is a electric cooker/pan that can be used for stir fry or any use. There is even a rice cooker. The property manager is excellent, contacted us and remind us clearly how to check in as we arrived late night. The location is superb! Gondola/Luge/Paragliding/iFly activities are just few blocks walking. Also short walk to a part of the downtown where you find shops and others... In fact, the paragliding lands right on the patch of lawn, in front of the apartment. (Btw we tried the tandem gliding. We are not the adventurous type. Though this tandem gliding is scary to imagine, it is actually pretty doable. You walked a few steps and it takes off at 30+km/hr, then just swerve in the air within seconds. At most speed, if the pilot swerve left/right, speed might increase to at most 60+km/hr but majority of the time it sails smoothly. In no time, like 10-12 minutes, you will land on the field. Basically you just land and stand without even walking. Thanks to Bella Vista manager encouraging us to just park the car after check out, and go try it :) Btw the guidebook about Queenstown, available in the room is very resourceful and most complete of all tourist info about Queenstown. I would recommend you read that Guidebook in the Bella Vista apartment room if you are first timer to the area like us. You will get a good overview to plan out your activities and stay in Queenstown.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.
