Hotel Metrics





Queenstown Tourism Market
Most indicators show New Zealand’s tourism industry has bounced back closer to 2019 levels than many analysts’ had predicted.
Monthly domestic tourism electronic card transactions reached $M931 in November, up 18% on the same month in 2019, with Otago (+30%) one of the highest. For the same period, international tourism spend was only down by 3%.
Total passenger movements through Queenstown airport for the six months ending December, were only marginally behind the 2019 peak of 1.258M at 1.225M. These figures were boosted by flight numbers from Australia for the winter 2022 season back to 2019 levels and the return of Virgin with daily flights from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane from November.
On an international level, Emirates has announced that a A380 Airbus will resume Dubai-Christchurch flights from 26 March to compliment the Auckland service, which has been operating since late last year. America’s Delta Airline has started flying Auckland-Los Angeles, and many Chinese airlines are returning, including China Southern Airlines operating two flights a week between Guangzhou-Auckland, while Air New Zealand now also flies to Shanghai three times a week.
The New Zealand Government is assisting the industry with several initiatives, including a $M400 Recovery Package, $M200 Tourism Communities Plan and a $M54 Innovation plan. Half of the 36,000 working holiday visa recipients have arrived, helping to alleviate the tourism worker shortfall.
Queenstown visitor accommodation providers have reported strong business over the summer, although some are still constrained by worker shortages.

The most recent hotels statistics for the quarter ended December shows an Average Daily Rate of $286 compared to $265 for the same period in 2019.
Occupancies over the same period averages 64.3%, with 2019 at 85%.

Commercial Market
QLDC are currently underway with the first stage of a Town Centre street upgrade, jointly funded by the Government’s ‘Shovel Ready’ fund ($35m), and Queenstown Lakes District Council ($25m). This will significantly upgrade services and infrastructure within the Rees Street, Brecon Street, Upper and Lower Beach St, and Park Street areas. Furthermore, this enhancement program will transform these core pedestrian streets of the downtown area into more attractive, functional, user-friendly walkways through the CBD.
Many building owners, and both existing and new tenants have taken the opportunity upgrade and/or relocate over this period.
A major development was the re-opening of O’Connell’s Pavilion in November after a two year rebuild, with DFS as the major tenant over 2 floors, and a food court at a lower level. There has also been new interest from major overseas brands, with R W Williams taking over the prime Rees/Beach St corner, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein moving into the former BNZ building and Partridges Jewellers moving to larger premises in Rees St. There is also a new mens fashion store opening in the former ASB building in nearby Camp Street.
There has been a record 9 CBD sales since mid-2021 ranging in value from $M2.700 to $M32.500, and all within a tight yield range of 3.16-4.25%.

Queenstown Mini Golf
This business has been trading on this site for over 30 years and is one of Queenstown’s most popular family attractions.

The business benefits from the high pedestrian flow in this area, primarily the peak 900,000 visitors to the Skyline Gondola and associated attractions.
The business was purchased by the vendor in 2019 and turnover has ranged from $260,000300,000 per annum.

Deadline Private Treaty Sales Process
A deadline sale is the process of purchasing real estate throug h confidential submitted written offers. If you want to buy a property by deadline sale, you prepare your best offer and send it to the vendor’s Agent to consider alongside any other offers the vendor receives at any point in the deadline sale campaign.
The property is offered for sale with no price, with a deadline by which offers need to be submitted on the basis that the vendors reserve the right to ac cept an offer at anytime before the deadline sale closes.
Buying by deadline sale is a relatively simple process, with ad vantages for the purchaser as well as for the vendor. However, it’s not simply a matter of turning up on the day and writing down what you’d like to pay. It’s worth doing full due diligence early to know your rights and obligations and to ensure you feel comfortable with the process.
To help you better understand how deadline sales work, we’ve pu t together a list of key things you’ll need to do before submitting an offer.
• Arrange finance. This is very important. You need to be comfortable with the le vel at which you’re offering. It’s fine to put a finance clause into t he contract, but bear in mind that a vendor may favour the most straightforward offer on the day.
• Read the contract. The ‘Sale and purchase agreement’ is the contract signed by the potential purchaser at the time of submitting a deadline sa le offer. If your offer is accepted, it will then be signed by the vendor and become a binding contract. It contains a legal description of the property and terms of settlement. We recommend you engage legal advice before presenting an offer.
• Know the value. If you have been studying the market, you may have a good idea of what the property is worth. If you need help, your real esta te Sales Consultant can refer you to similar properties which have sold recently that a re a good comparison. Otherwise you could arrange for an independent valuation.
How to make an offer:
• Know the process. Talk to your Colliers Agent about exactly what will happen on and before the deadline sale closing day.
• Talk to your Colliers Agent when formulating your offer. They can assist you in looking at comparable sales and provide information enabling yo u to make an offer you’re comfortable is the current market value.
• Consider your conditions carefully. Where possible it’s best to minimise the conditions on a deadline sale offer, however it’s also advisable to not spend a large amount in advance when there is a chance your offer may not be s elected. Balance is the key.
Offers to be submitted to Colliers Sole Agents by 4pm, Thursday 9 March 2023.
