I don't think it's a loss leader, I think that they have looked at the actual cost of providing a carpark. Cardrona offered free buses from the bottom this year. During the school holidays NZ Ski offered cheaper rates in the Man Street carpark too - maximising onfield revenue.

Skyline may take legal action against shareholder after incorrect comments | Otago Daily Times Online News (odt.co.nz)

Queenstown tourism giant Skyline Enterprises is considering legal action against a shareholder after comments published by the Otago Daily Times on Saturday.Cath Gilmour, of Queenstown, admits she inadvertently made an error when she told the ODT that shareholders had voted four-to-one in favour of the company returning the $7.9 million wage subsidy it took last year.
In fact, before the company’s annual meeting on Friday, shareholders voted four-to-one against a motion, tabled by Ms Gilmour and fellow shareholder John Hilhorst last month, which urged the company to repay the money.
Skyline Enterprises chairwoman Jan Hunt said she was "appalled" by the comments, which had been incorrect in other respects.
"We are taking legal advice with a view to taking proceedings going forward , for both brand and reputational damage.
"We do not take this lightly."

Ms Gilmour was wrong to say directors had decided to change the method of voting on the motion from one vote per shareholder to a poll vote, in which the number of votes matched the shares an individual held.The poll vote was legally required by share registry provider, Computershare, because the meeting was held by video conference, she said.
"You can’t have a show of hands in a Zoom meeting - it just doesn’t work.
"So it’s not illegal, and as far as the polling goes, it made no difference to the outcome."
Ms Gilmour and Mr Hilhorst should have been aware of that before the meeting, Ms Hunt said.
"Everyone was aware of this, and we went through in detail to make sure we had the process 100% correct."
Under the poll voting method, 95.4% of the votes were cast in opposition to the resolution.
Ms Gilmour and Mr Hilhorst tabled their motion last month, saying it was a "moral question" for the company, given it had recorded a $56.7 million profit after tax in the last financial year.
Ms Gilmour said yesterday it would be "inappropriate" for her to comment further, other than to say she emailed the ODT as soon as she realised her mistake, and copied Ms Hunt into the email.
Ms Hunt said returning the wage subsidy or not was "not a moral issue".
"My role, and the board’s role, is for all our shareholders, and our shareholders have voted 95.4% to say you need to keep the wage subsidy."
The company’s "true profit" in the last financial year was $6.9 million, and most of the reported profit arose from property revaluations.
Shareholders had not received a dividend for the past two years, she said.
"We were legally able to take, and needed to take, the wage subsidy."

The sale of prime Queenstown CBD commercial property at a yield of 3.25% is a positive for Skylines property portfolio valuations:

http://www.scene.co.nz/features/bloc...r-sale-in-cbd/

Skyline’s 2021 annual report details valuations were based on rental yields of 3.65% to 5.90% and market capitalisation rates of 3.9% to 4.25%. This suggests the March 2021 carrying values are below current market levels. The Skyline property portfolio is well located and anchored by the O’Connells Mall nearing the completion of its redevelopment and also including some key CBD waterfront locations.

I see in todays Stuff ann that 8 YHA hostels- around N Z, are for sale due to the Covid down turn, would this be a once in a life time opportunity for Skyline Enterprises, massive funding required but their balance sheet could stand it Im sure !! ?

Queenstown on lakefront and Wanaka across the park from the lake. Tekapo a brand new hostel, which was delayed and probably never used much due to Covid.....

Looks like YHA are having to sell the family jewels.
