Alpine Chalets

We had two sleepless nights, as the Appartement was directly a the mainroad beneath a petrol Station, which was used to be a truckstop. The Trucks came all through the night, standing in front of our bedroom window with the engine on. The noise was horrible and in the end of the two sleepless nights I had insect bites, which probably seem to be from bed bugs. There was mold in the bathroom and the steps upstairs are not really save. In the Office, there is nobody.

Not worth it at any price My room was the top floor of the chalets. There were very steep and narrow stairs to get tot he room, but it wasn't a big deal. There was only a glass storm door as the door which offered no privacy or sound blocking. With the road noise from the highway, I got almost 0 sleep. There were spider and cobwebs all over the place. The shower was very difficult to get to a good temperature and had very poor pressure. Easily the worst stay of my trip to New Zealand.

Room Basic but OK. The manager Mary is SO KIND, so helpful! A real pro. I have to give her credit. This place is very disappointing to drive up to. Kind of run down and not what I was expecting. However, we asked and were given a main floor room instead of 2nd floor because of all our luggage. Room #3 is newly remodeled and in perfect condition. It is not plush - very basic. But to a good standard. I would recommend some hooks behind the front door, and in the bathroom to hand things. The bed was actually OK - comfortable. Mary brought us extra blankets which was kind. Unfortunately it was very cold and rainy when we arrived and the weather didn't change. We left the next day, even though we had booked a 2 night stay. We could not handle the weather. Please be aware the weather system here is DIFFERENT than the rest of New Zealand we experienced on our 12 day trip. You really need WARM clothes, gloves, hats, rain gear, warm coat, etc. We were not prepared. Alpine Chalets sounds so cozy, fun, friendly, etc. Instead we found it rather desolate in the Spring. Very basic. I believe this place is getting renovated.

Clean room in the heart of Tongariro National Park We stayed here for two nights, before and after our Tongariro Crossing trip. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Check in and communication was straightforward. The ear plugs left on the table came in handy as the property is located next to a fairly busy road and trucks transporting cars stop and do their driver change-over next to it. Also the carpet in the room could do with a refresh as it does not smell very nice.

Had a lovely wee stay, the view was amazing and Mary was a fantastic host checking in on me throughout my stay. Thank you 😊

Very comfortable stay! Very comfortable stay at Alpine chalets - really clean and comfortable beds, kitchenette had everything it needed. Great communication with the very friendly owner who greeted us and had a little chat.
