"Good location with only a short walk to shops / restaurants.
Beautiful views from room.
Clean room with nice staff.
Te Anau a lovely town with friendly people.
Good base to go to Milford Sound."
"Nice property, rooms are a little smaller than they appear on the photos but fairly standard size for this kind of place. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and parking was very easy.
Only thing to be aware of is the shared bathrooms get very cold at night since they leave the windows open so be prepared if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night."
"The price was good, the rooms were nice and large. Rooms and hotel in general are older, but in reasonable condition.
Not really soundproof, as it was at times quite noisy from the hall or adjacent rooms.
Fine for a short stay.
Apparently, there is a restaurant on site, but only open depending on the number of guests staying at the hotel. Not to matter, plenty of dining options in town."
"The staff were great, without them I wouldn’t bother to review. It all looks very very dated…like nothing has been upgraded for about 25 years. Our room had a small double bed and a single so we slept in separate beds…the mattresses were comfy but the single bed was pushed up against the wall and the pillows were terrible, really cheap, flat and thin. Old towels a bit threadbare. There was a cold night so we put the heating on, next morning there were pools of water from condensation dripping off the windowsills in the room. A few slamming doors from other rooms but otherwise ok from 9pm on. It’s not terrible, it’s clean…it’s a decent location for Milford Sound 2 hour drive away unless you’re staying in the limited accommodation actually in Milford Sound."
"The laundry service was good, very clean and efficient washing machines and driers.
The bed mattress, in our room was very uncomfortable, a suggestion would be to consider replacing it. The end unit was under an external stairwell leading to units above, when the stairs were in use it was noisey. Lovely motel overall. Suggestion; Book for units upstairs and/ or not end units on lower floor."
"This is a two star hotel parading as four. The rooms are OK but the hotel is basically a tour group sleep-over for Milford Sound. The pricing is outrageous for the quality. The buffet breakfast simply awful.
Parking is convenient, although open air and good location to the only EV charger anywhere between Queenstown and Milford."
"We really enjoyed our stay with Jeff and Jan! The room was spotless, and Jeff and Jan were such thoughtful and welcoming hosts. They were extremely helpful in providing us recommendations on places to see, eat, and activities in the area. Their breakfasts were an absolute delight (and tasty!), even at our early wake up times. Eddie and Frankie were very warm hosts into their space and are some of the friendliest pets we have met. Overall we could not recommend staying at Alpine Rock highly enough, and would love to stay again if we are in the area!"
