For us nothing but if staying more than a couple nights there is not much hanging space because porta cot in wardrobe. I am sure this could be put elsewhere if not required by guests.

Location just at the edge of the village is great although the trains are quite noisy overnight. Rooms are fantastic with very comfy beds and lots of space. Great kitchen with everything you need and lots of nice touches everywhere. Very organised couple running the motel. Super shower and very glad to have heat pump as it is needed overnight and there is a heater in second bedroom and heated blankets. Fiona and Pete are lovely and so helpful and just live their dream in the village. Well connected with information at their fingertips and involved in many community projects.

There isn’t much in terms of things to do but this is due to the area. The staff showed us some different routes you can walk around to see beautiful waterfalls and pointed us in the direction of the only cafe that is open for dinner.

Property was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our one night stay. We could even rent movies and board games/cards for a small donation. The staff went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t recommend this place enough. Unfortunately we had bad weather and didn’t know if we were going to make it to our next destination and Pete and Fi were kind enough to offer us to come back if we got stuck.

could hear the freight train at night if you are a light sleeper.

Location - easy to find and 750m away from the shop/ restaurant in the village. Parking - next to your room. Staff - Was really simple, just had to call for staff on arrival. Just dropped the key on check out. WiFi speed - 300 mbps down, 140 mbps up, was pretty consistent. Much better than expected considering the remoteness of the location. Amenities - Basic kitchen with a fridge etc, was perfect for sorting yourself out with some breakfast in the morning. Bed / pillows - Bed was comfortable and warm couldn't ask for more on a cold morning. Noise levels - could hear the freight train at night if you are a light sleeper. Temperature - comfortable Shower - Clean and functional Overall comments - Nice place in beautiful surroundings, would definitely stay there again.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We received a message from them before we arrived with detailed information on the food situation, which was very useful as Arthur's Pass is very small and has just one shop and few restaurants. The location is fantastic. Of course, there are the useful alpine attractions (waterfalls, outlooks, etc.), there are also the fascinating keas and a night sky showing more stars than almost all places on earth.

The owners were so helpful, and friendly offering suggestions for walks and providing a map of the walks. There is a very comprehensive library of books and dvds for guests to borrow. Rooms were really attractive and comfortable.

We were very pleased, when we arrived we were greeted warmly. The room was lovely, clean, warm and the furnishing charming. We only stayed one night because we were flying home the following. We wish we had had more time.

Nothing.

To be honest, given the remote location, we weren't expecting anything too much. However, my wife and I were extremely happy with our unit at Arthur's Pass Alpine Motel.... it well exceeded our expectations. We would gladly stay here again, and recommend to our friends to do likewise.

All was good!

Apartment was a lovely comfortable well equipped space, really handy for all amenities and nearby walks. Beautiful views all around. Owners were very helpful with dining and walk recommendations

Not a dislike, more of a heads up. This is a small country town. Don’t forget to shop before you get to Arthur’s Pass as things close earlier than the city and you might get caught out.

Very comfortable little cabin, very spacious. Kitchen very handy. Appreciated the lending library of DVDs in the office, we got to catch up on a Taika Waiti movie we’d been meaning to see for a long time. We wish we had booked more than one night.
