The Ski fields are calling

One of the best ways to spend your Winter in Central Otago is by visiting one of our many ski fields.

Take on the slopes in sunny Central Otago

Often when people make trips to stay with us at the Alexandra Heights Motel for a winter trip they are taking at least one day to explore the ski fields. The thrill of racing some of the world's most renowned ski resorts, or maybe they just are looking forward to a cold beer up the mountain. Either way, it's a great way to spend a day.

We are lucky that we have a full selection of ski fields that you can take on, Cardrona, Remarkables, and Coronet Peak, are all within an hour's driving distance from our motel. So you don't have to choose just one resort to visit, you can make a week of it and visit all of them. Alexandra is a great place to base yourself if you want to be slightly removed from the metropolitan scene of Queenstown. With our great selection of restaurants and cafes locally, you will find something perfect for everyone in your family. Or make the most of your kitchen facilities and stay in to enjoy a night with your family.

In Alexandra, you will also find our local outdoor ice rink that during the winter months is a fun way to spend a morning. They offer a full hire service for skates for you of all sizes, talk to us at reception about opening times and open season for the ice rink.

Maybe you're looking to cuddle up and be romantic in the winter months, in which case just a short ride over to Clyde you will world-class restaurants and bars, to take your fancy. We can organise transport for you, should you require assistance, don't hesitate to contact reception.
