Hello Jenny,

It is a bit difficult to find a place with all the necessary accommodations you mentioned, nevertheless I believe I have found something that may work.

Cardrona Alpine Resort near Queenstown, New Zealand. Official Website: https://www.cardrona.com/winter

• It is approximately a 1-hour drive from Queenstown Airport
• They have various lodging options, and state that they are a 1-min walk to the ski lifts (more info here: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/mountain/accommodation/)
• Various equipment is available for rent (more info here: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/passes-rentals/rental-equipment/)
• Lodgings do have kitchens, and there are a few dining options in the adjacent main base building, so you don’t have to travel far to eat
• Most of the resort facilities are connected and seem to have covered and/or indoor access that should be wheelchair accessible (see base area map here: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/mountain/maps/)
• The location is away from town, however you may want to avoid booking the busy season
• Accommodations may have multiple levels (it may be best to inquiry directly about lodging)
• It says Wifi is available at the facilities, however I do not know if this includes lodging or public areas (it may be best to inquiry directly)
• TV/video & SKY TV is available, I believe this is Satellite and may be limited
• Private bathroom will depend on lodging selection

 

Your non-essentials:

• Adaptive skiing is available (booking and more info here: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/learn/adaptive-snow-sports), also they have snow-tubing and I’m thinking if you tie a few together then the whole family, daughter included, may be able to have fun together! (more info: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/passes-rentals/tubing-sightseeing/)
• Kids club available (more info: https://www.cardrona.com/winter/plan/family-ski-holiday)
• I couldn’t find a game room

 

I believe that covers everything. However, I highly recommend getting in contact with Cardrona directly (their e-mail is: [email protected]) to inquire about the finer details, especially busy season, facility, rooms, & ski accessibility. Also, I’d suggest booking as far out as possible, especially if you wish to book any Adaptive equipment.

Anyway, I hope that helps,
