Find Hotels in Arthur's Pass, New Zealand

I want to say first up the Motel owners are very friendly and helpful. Because they were so nice I was tempted to leave only positive or no review at all but I want to help others researching and making decisions on where to stay. 'If' you need to stay in Arthur's Pass (AP) then I would recommend this Motel BUT I didn't research AP well enough before booking to realise it's opposite the train tracks where we had multiple massively long Coal Freight Trains pass up to midnight (& something as noisy beyond midnight - a smaller coal freight train I think). Being in the Pass and with the rumbling of the trains (talking vibrating the whole chalet) we literally wondered if there was an earthquake or landslide. I would therefore suggest staying somewhere other than AP if you can BUT make sure you drop in and visit. Quaint little rustic place. Room was clean and the bed was very comfy (other than the train vibrations). Oh and wear earplugs - they definitely helped us get 'some' sleep.

Our room had a King size bed and an ensuite bathroom. Although there is no TV in the room there is a large room adjacent to all the Lodge's room that has a big TV and full shared kitchen facilities. The Wifi was good the first night but spotty the second night. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Only quibble was that the price per night was pretty high for what you got but it is one of the few places in town.
