9.5/10

Amazing

I had a wonderful stay there, will definitely go back if I visit the town again. Very nice and warm welcome hospitality. During the check-in proactively provide useful information for the guests. Parking just right in front of the unit, very convenient. Only a few mins drive to supermarket and the famous tree in town! Very clean and tidy of the unit, with well equipped l Kitchen facilities. Like the shower with very hot water for winter. The hot spa at the top of the road near reception would be good to try when there is still day light, coz a bit too dark and cold at night unless having a few people going together chit chatting and watching stars? That could be a bit romantic too?

Amazing

The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax and move around. Overall, everything was spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, making it super convenient to whip up a late-night meal whenever we wanted. While the location isn't right in the heart of the city center, it's just a quick few-minute drive away, so getting around was still incredibly easy and hassle-free. Highly recommend! :)

Very Good

I booked this motel quite last minute but i'm glad they still have a unit available for us. we travelled in a group of 5 with my parents, so 2 bedroom is our minimum requirement, no starirs, and since we wanted to cook, having a kitchenette is also an important criteria, and Alpine Motel ticks all the boxes. The motel is very near to Lake Wanaka but we still drove there. Very convenient location and very comfortable. They have a laundry outside the room in case you are already in the middle of your trip and would need a laundry day. We went to the nearest supermarket to shop and cook dinner at the motel. You can park right in front of your unit, very convenient.

We stayed in room 12 from February 7th to 8th and forgot our iPad. We haven't heard anything from the cleaner/park? We've emailed, and we'll call Lise van Caspel & Hedzer Klarenbeek on February 9th.
