Alpine Lodge has real friendly hosts. The proximity of the pools is fantastic. The motel is old, but well maintained. Providing towels for the pool was a really nice surprise and much appreciated. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

Hello Inge,Thank you for reviewing the motel. Great to see that the towels got well used, and that short walk to the pools is so very handy. We wish you all the best, and look forward to a return visit another day.

No favorable comments as this was very low grade and not suitable as motel accommodation. This is back packer overnight.

It was too hot. No air conditioner. Couldn't leave the door open all night to let air in and the bathroom window opened up too far to leave open. Terrible night.

Hello Helen,Thank you for your review. Yes, those rooms can get hot, ideal for winter, not so much for summer. There is a fan in the room which may of helped. Sorry you did not enjoy your night with us. Great that you found the room clean, with all you needed, an the location ideal for your stay.

Good morning Celia, Thank you for your input. Our budget studio rooms all have microwaves in them, so a bit confused by your statement. We could have provided you with a tarpaulin for your bikes if you wanted it, just had to ask. we are working on updating the paint colours in all our rooms over the coming year.Kind Regards

Response from Brett & Denise - Your Hosts on Dec 22, 2022
Good afternoon, Mahesh. Thank you for your feedback.we were unaware of any issues with your room. We have since investigated and still there appears to be no obvious smell or issues to date. Your booking was made through a third party being - "Expedia" - you were adamant it was booked under your name only- which was incorrect, and caused a delay in the check in. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations

Comfortable beds, super close to town and hot pools. Well laid out room. Nice to have a table our party of 4 could sit around. The outside landscaping requires some TLC. The concrete was broken and uneven at the entrance way to the room but this was pointed out to us by staff on arrival. Overall good value for money.

We were suprised to find that dishes had to be washed in bathroom sink or put outside only to be replaced between 11-1 next day. Otherwise the facility was spotless very handy to hot pools and we were even supplied with towels for use at the pool, a real bonus.

You can hear next door.
Owners and staff were friendly enough. Good central location. The only issues I would say are that the walls between each unit are paper thin and you can hear next door quite abit. Ok if you're a heavy sleeper but you can hear people snoring and going to the toilet..... Not ideal really. Other than that it was clean and warm.

Nice but Dated
Good motel in Hanmer Springs. Stayed in a King Suite w Balcony. Room was clean but very dated … think pink bathroom fixtures and bedding that’s a bit old school. Perfectly comfortable and very nice owners, just quite outdated in terms of fixtures and fittings. Room had basic appliances which was nice … kettle, toaster, cooker (didn’t try it), and fridge. It had a spa bathtub which was out of service waiting for parts (but to be fair the room was not advertised as even having a spa bath so no complaints), and a nice balcony with a view of the mountains in the background, and the main road through town. If I returned to Hanmer I’d probably look for more updated accommodations but if my options were limited I’d stay here again.
