The cabin is very clean and the price is good. We first stayed in cabin #3 (the medium size one) and asked to see the bigger one that comes with a gas fireplace, cabin #5. Glad we switched as the cabin with the fireplace warmed up very quickly. Although they have 2 other portable heaters to use but we didn't... More

We stayed here on our way from Franz Josef to Kaikoura during our tour of New Zealand. The Alpine Motel is a small chalet park in Arthur’s Pass National Park on the side of Highway 73 in Arthur’s Pass Village. There isn’t a lot of accommodation to choose from but we were very satisfied with our chalet. Although we were... More

Considering the village consists of 4 places to sleep and 3 to eat, there isnt much choice you have. The hotel itself was quite clean and comfortable, if slightly old. As the earlier reviews have said, it's very close to the rail tracks and the Trans Alpine runs all night. Also, if you are planning to come into the Arthurs... More

Found the accommodation clean and adequate if rather dated. Not a place for light sleepers as the main line greymouth to christchurch passes very close and he Kiwi Rail night coal trains are frequent and noisy. The only type of kiwi likely to be seen.

Okay so these may not be the newest cabins, but they have lots of character. If they were brand new somehow I think they would be less attractive. The fact that they feel lived in (some have wood fires) means that you kinda look forward to settling under the blankets and staying all toasty and warm when it is sooo... More

This motel is really better than average but not quite very good. The staff are excellent. The cabin was very clean, even the windows were spotless. The views are great although the cabins are close to the road. There is some traffic during the day but none at night so noise is not an issue. Trains pass from time to... More

The people were great from booking to leaving nothing can be faulted. They have dvds and books for hire and told us about all the locations and things to do in Arthurs Pass. Weather was rough but that made the stay all that much better, the rooms were warm and cozy and cooking facities were great as well. Had a... More

We spent 2 nights here. The motel was clean and comfortable and the owner was very helpful.The wifi Internet connection was surprisingly good (reasonable charge) and (do your own) laundry facilities were a bonus. ($5 charge) When booking this accommodation in Aurthur's Pass I did a little reading on what was available.I came to the conclusion that unless you were... More

The owners were very friendly and accommodating and suggested a place for dinner which had a very tasty venison pie. The room had all of it's facilities in top order, a comfortable bed, good temperature and water pressure in the shower and a good heater (it was needed even though it was summer time). A comfortable and affordable stay on... More
