Alpenhorn Motel

Lovely space. Well set up kitchen. Beautiful peaceful spot.

Location is good

Clean and tidy unit 5 mins walk to the town centre.

Good property Closer to shops, restaurants and lake

We arrived at the Alpernhorn Motel around 5pm to find our key taped to the office window along with others. We were stunned to arrive at what is certainly the worst accommodation we had have after five weeks in New Zealand. The room was very dingy and the rooms were extremely dated. Out of date folder is provided. There is no air conditioning in the room and it was very stuffy. My wife called to ask if we could have a fan as she had spotted one in room 4 next to our room. She was told only room 6 and 7 had fans. We went out as was a lovely afternoon. When we returned the room was so stuffy. My wife went to reception but forgot it is only maned between 2-4pm. She spotted two fans in the reception area. She rang again and explained the room was so stuffy and could somebody give us one of the fans. A man came quite quickly and got the fan from reception. He explained they had a hotel along the road so if any problems to call the number. The beds were too low for us and the bedspreads looked cheap and worn. The furniture was poor quality ans very old. I doubt if this motel has seen a refurbishment in the last 20 years. The gardens are very nice at the property and we spent as much time outside as we could as much more pleasant than being in the room. The bathroom appears to be the only place modernised. If we had not had a long journey and we were going on a full day trip the next day to Doubtful sound we would not have stayed. Easy money and they clearly don’t care.

Seeing 2 ashtrays full of butts on the patio table in centre view of large window/door was unpleasant.

The property is a little dated but it was clean and quiet. Reception is not always staffed however when I rang about leaving my bag because I was arriving early I was advised to leave my bag at the Village Inn. When I returned to check in Teddy offered to drive me to the Alpenhorn Motel, so going over and beyond. At the end of my stay Teddy was extremely helpful and offered to drive me to the bus stop. Thanks a million.

Dry nice!!

Adequate. Bed not comfortable.

Wonderful times staying at this hotel. Nest and clean as well.

Nothing !

It was nice, what you expect.

Convenient, clean and comfortable

Quite spacious as we had a family unit with single beds in a separate room. Heater worked well as it was cool and we got wet during our visit to Milford Sound. Quiet place.

Great friendly service and easy walking distance to shops/transport etc.

Clean comfy beds but vey dated No contact with owners at all

Older motel, dated but clean. Lovely outdoor table to sit in the sun in the garden. Bed was not the best for 2 larger bodies, but everything works. Good value.

This was great for a one night stay. Everything we needed for a fair price.

Very friendly staff

A little run down but fine! Easy walk to the town. The restaurants were all heaving with tourists so best to book if you want to eat out at high season
