Awesome location, great parking & the room and general premises were very clean and tidy. Ella was amazing and even after we'd checked out she saw us in town and reminded me that we had left a pillow behind. We will definitely stay here again. 10/10.

The accommodation is quiet, very clean and well appointed. We loved having the decking, very sunny property so lovely to relax on the deck. We used the queen bed and pull-out couch, both were very comfortable. Facilities in the room were spot on, stove top, fridge, coffee/tea, toaster etc available if you wanted to do meals. The motel is very close to hanmer shopping, pools, walking tracks, bars and restaurants etc. We had a fab stay here and will definitely book again when visiting. Thank you to the proprietors. Highly recommend this accommodation.

5 adults/ teenagers stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. Great pull out couch for the 5th person. A 2 block walk from the hot pools Pros - Towels provided for hot pools - Quiet units - Super Friendly staff - Comfortable units with lots of prep room in the kitchen Cons - More time couldn't be spents with the General Manager (if you know you know) - Lack of plugs.( couldn't find any in the bedroom with the 2 single beds)

My family were very comfortable staying here for the two nights we spent in Hanmer. The beds were very comfy and everything was lovely and clean. The staff were very friendly. It was great to be able to have the use of the motel towels for the pools to save us travelling with wet ones. A new frypan that sits flat on the element would make cooking a lot easier. We would recommend staying here.

After travelling around the South Island for 2 weeks Hanmer was our 9th and final stop. Alpine Garden Motel was by far the best place we stayed. The little touches like chocolates on the bed, makeup removal wipes and extra towels for use at the hot pools make this place worth staying at. Walkable distance to the main town centre and pool. Nice and quiet. Ella who was at reception when we checked in was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend staying here.
