The layout was perfect for our family with separate bedroom and living room sleeping area. Easy and friendly check in. Slept great on comfortable bed. While nothing jumps out about the motel it delivered more than expected! Also Oamuru turned out to be the hidden gem of our trip! Super interesting town!

The layout of my room was perfect. I very much appreciated the hand and body soap dispenser, the compostable shower cap and hair tie included. I generally always bring my own shower cap as a just in case, so it was great to have that provided. To have an ironing board and iron available in the room was another unexpected bonus. The overall cleanliness, layout and all the amenities were top notch.

Room was generously sized and we had a great balcony out the back with seating, where we could watch the bowls club. Shower was powerful and surprisingly hot! Well appointed kitchenette (toaster, microwave, kettle and all cutlery & crockery), which was useful during our stay over New Year and we really only had supermarkets as options for food.

    With a family of six, it isn't easy to find suitable accommodations. The Midway Motel was affordable, clean, and comfortable. Everyone had a bed and no one had to sleep on the couch!

    Friendly staff who asked us if we want to pay in cash instead of credit card as it will incur transaction charges. Provides tissue, which most motel did not.

    Alpine Motel was centrally located with a short walk in to the main town with the local attractions. It was also close to Countdown the supermarket and a number of eateries within easy walking distance. It has a nice selection of eating utensils and a kettle with tea/coffee. The room was lovely and warm and on a cooler wet winter night, this was a welcome escape.
