The room was clean and had everything we needed. Check in and communication was straightforward. The ear plugs left on the table came in handy as the property is located next to a fairly busy road and trucks transporting cars stop and do their driver change-over next to it. Also the carpet in the room could do with a refresh as it does not smell very nice. ##### Ioana Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Not worth it at any price My room was the top floor of the chalets. There were very steep and narrow stairs to get tot he room, but it wasn't a big deal. There was only a glass storm door as the door which offered no privacy or sound blocking. With the road noise from the highway, I got almost 0 sleep. There were spider and cobwebs all over the place. The shower was very difficult to get to a good temperature and had very poor pressure. Easily the worst stay of my trip to New Zealand. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SHEENA 25 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication It was warm and cozy, the beds were comfortable, everything was clean. Some paint work needs to be done on the window sill in the bathroom, there were a few stains on the carpet, the frying pan was buckled and needs replacing, somewhere to put things in the shower would be great. Mary was a wonderfully attentive host. We will definitely be back and will recommend to others. Thankyou! ##### SHEENA Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Howard 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Communication The property is quite old. We were at 2nd floor with the mountain view, which was good. Parking was at rear of buliding, a bit inconvenient. The building is just adjacent to the highway, it was noisy and many big trucks handover drivers. ##### Howard Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Glyn 30 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication This is an older very traditional property that is currently undergoing renovations. Although it's very much in need of an update, the manager & staff do a fantastic job keeping it clean, warm & comfortable. The check-in procedure is via looking for your name on a list on the door, with the key being in your room. That's absolutely fine especially if arriving late, but our personal preference is to see a person at check-in. We had a wonderful stay & Mary the manager couldn't have been more delightful 😊 ##### Glyn Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 24 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Good kitchen facilities with elements and lots of utensils including sharp knives. Comfy beds. Wonderful view of the mountains through the window. We had the panoramic room with 2 steep flights of external steps which are rather dangerous and poorly maintained. Would be treacherous in the winter! The outside of the chalets looks poorly maintained and indoors is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suyoun 4 Mar 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Unable to use wifi ##### Suyoun Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dennis 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Room Basic but OK. The manager Mary is SO KIND, so helpful! A real pro. I have to give her credit. This place is very disappointing to drive up to. Kind of run down and not what I was expecting. However, we asked and were given a main floor room instead of 2nd floor because of all our luggage. Room #3 is newly remodeled and in perfect condition. It is not plush - very basic. But to a good standard. I would recommend some hooks behind the front door, and in the bathroom to hand things. The bed was actually OK - comfortable. Mary brought us extra blankets which was kind. Unfortunately it was very cold and rainy when we arrived and the weather didn't change. We left the next day, even though we had booked a 2 night stay. We could not handle the weather. Please be aware the weather system here is DIFFERENT than the rest of New Zealand we experienced on our 12 day trip. You really need WARM clothes, gloves, hats, rain gear, warm coat, etc. We were not prepared. Alpine Chalets sounds so cozy, fun, friendly, etc. Instead we found it rather desolate in the Spring. Very basic. I believe this place is getting renovated. ##### Dennis Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luca 15 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Camera pulita con tutto il necessario però avrebbe bisogno di un ammodernamento per quanto riguarda arredamento ##### Luca Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher 8 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Basic accommodation for a hiking active vacation.
