Quiet location, great coffee shop and dairy just around the corner. Friendly staff. Really comfortable. Just a little frustrating to have to login to the TV even to watch normal free to air. Fridge also set way to low and froze everything.

Arriving to the jetted spa bath was a treat, as a stop over with a young family. Would have loved to have had more time to enjoy the amenities. We decided not to opt for the continental breakfast option, being a little pricey for what you get and with other reasonable eats in the area.

It was a good stay overall - things we liked were the spa tub, a good bed and the little outdoor/courtyard area. The room had a kitchenette and everything we needed. It was close to town so very convenient. The room itself was a bit dated and some fixtures like oven knobs and light switch covers were cracked and broken. It wasn't dirty as such but a better job could have been done on the bathroom.

Found dead sandflies under the pillow, right before going to bed, imagine if that’s you. Tried to talk to the reception but they said on the contact page, only contact for emergency after hour. I checked google and found out this place ranked as 4 star hotel, I mean come on, how bold of you to claim that when there’s even no phone in the room, nor the 24 hours reception.

What a wonderful night at this fabulous motor lodge, the room was immaculate and so spacious and comfortable! I could move in ! Beautiful staff and I enjoyed the banter after so long in my own company- what a treat to book here. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone traveling. Ps the makeup washer was a great touch and made me smile - you get it we need a darker colour to remove makeup traces on face washers! Thank you Alpine Lake Motor Lidge - faultless accommodation.

Studio with whirlpool bath. It was reasonably sized and had everything needed, but wasn't particularly comfortable. The bed was far too soft, there were 2 comfy chairs but sitting on the bed turned out to be more comfortable. However the downstairs room had a little outside area where we ate breakfast. Admittedly it was surrounded by high walls for privacy so no view but a positive. Also there was a notice saying don't use air-conditioning after 10pm to not disturb other guests. It was ok in November, but I wondered if in summer it might be too hot at night without it.
