Arthur's Pass Alpine Motel is located high in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, within Arthur’s Pass Village. Just 300 metres from Arthur’s Pass train Station, it offers free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi access. The cabin was so cosy with the log burner. We loved the ability to rent dvds and get board games to play with the kids. The short walks around the village were great with stunning views. Friendly, approachable hosts who were knowledgeable about the area.
