Arthur's Pass Alpine Motels

What a perfect spot for us to spend a couple days escaping the city life in Christchurch. Whether you’re on a road trip between the west coast and the east coast of the South Island, or just visiting Arthur’s Pass, this is a great spot to base on your mountain adventure. Big thanks to the owners/hosts, Fi and Pete, who are lovely people, fun to chat with, and full of tips to explore the area. The cottage/chalet was so cozy and cute. It felt so “at home” as if we were actually staying at a family cabin/batch/Air BNB, not a hotel or motel. Options of wood burning fireplaces or gas heater “fireplaces.” Beautiful views. Epic hikes/forest/waterfalls very close! Again, perfect location. Highly recommend! Will be back ourselves.

The motel units are cosy and warm and very well insulated! (it poured down with rain the whole time we were there!). The added extras such as DVDs and a range of board games were great companions for us on this trip. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn’t do too much but Pete recommended a couple of walks which we managed to get out and do. We would stay here again.

Good location and great service. They gave us a lot of useful information about walking. The room is clean and comfortable.
