Just 300 metres from Arthur’s Pass train Station, it offers free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi access. Everything as advertised, very friendly staff, very comfortable. Excellent communication, especially being forewarned about the lack of grocery shops in the immediate area. Having a separate bedroom and living area is a huge plus.

The children’s playground has a trampoline and swings. Guests can relax in the wooden hot tub, which features views of the gardens and mountains (charges apply).

Ski storage facilities are available, along with ski equipment tuning and waxing tools. In-room continental can be delivered to the rooms each morning. The views are spectacular as the location is a little out of the town but only just; loved the location it was very peaceful and beautiful and the cedar hot tubs are fantastic!

Just 250 metres from Lake Wakatipu, Alexis Motel & Apartments features a large shared patio offering views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables Mountains. All accommodation offers a kitchenette or kitchen. Guests enjoy free WiFi throughout the property.

The tour desk books local activities including paragliding, skiing and snowboarding. Superb location with stunning views of Lake Whakatipu from the living room & the balcony. We got the highest floor unit Room 16 which enhanced the view. Ample sheltered parking at the base of the motel. Staff were friendly & informative. Rooms were modern & clean & toilet was super up to date. Heating was more than sufficient. The property was just off the main road but my fears about road noise were unfounded. We stayed 4 nights in Queenstown with 2 whole days washed out by continuous rain & snow but this motel had a full repertoire of wifi & cable tv so it was still great.

Guests at the holiday home will be able to enjoy activities in and around Queenstown, like skiing and cycling. My Fiancée and I really enjoyed our stay here. Great views around, quiet neighborhood(besides the planes) and private spot we were in. Not too far from Frankton's airport/shopping center.The shower was the best feature of the property with its strong water pressure. However, part of the electric blanket wasn't working upon arrival either. It didn't really matter to me, but worth mentioning for the next guests. We'll definitely be back again next time we fly down to queenstown.
