Check in was via a text to obtain the key from the lock box as the reception was closed, it was perfectly fine access was easy, place was clean and it is so centrally located to the town we were pleasantly suprised.

Very friendly staff. Brought in firewood for us. Clean with plenty of towels, blankets etc. Great spot, right in town and awesome view of the mountain.
Only criticism I have is that I wish there were curtains over venetian blinds in the upstairs room to block out extra light coming through. Otherwise a great stay. Thank you!!

Paper thin building
If your susceptible to noise don't stay. You can hear people's conversations from neighbouring rooms, the common area and any footsteps in the building. Creaky floors. Everything's old, not much space to move into the kitchen area. At least the other guests were nice, only positive really, plus location and cost. I'd only stay if you're really on a budget. Stove is probably 50 years old

Showers are all good, nice and hot just don’t have a shower when they’re all in use you’ll get a cold bust every now and again.
Staff were polite and friendly as 😁
The Spa was nice and hot and close to the Main Street for food too
Only downside were the blood stains on my sheet that I discovered when making the bed, which wasn’t a nice discovery.
Although in saying that I would happily stay there again, but I would bring my own bedding next time.

The property was comfortable and suitable for our needs. There was no check in as such, rather a note on the door with our name and unit number. It suited me as that's all I really needed to know. The rubbish bin in the kitchen still had the previous guests rubbish in it so the unit didn't feel quite as clean as it could have been. The shower is brilliant and the unit was nice and warm, plus the fridge was quiet. Which in a studio is important.

Advertised so nicely online, we arrived only to discover that we weren't staying in the beautiful looking lodge, but instead a small dome type building in a tiny room that barely squuezed single bunk bed and single bed. Room wasn't very clean, beds were very uncomfortable. One powerpoint in the room. Had to pay $5 each for towels. What is probably a great little lodge in the booming winter/ski season, was unclean, uncomfortable and very over priced considering we stayed in off season.

Not staying here again
The good:
- Showers have good pressure and hot water.
- Rooms are warm after you leave the heater on for a while.
The bad:
- The whole place is really dirty.
- The common areas are really cold.
- The place is very noisy (don't expect to get a good night sleep).
- The price is the same (and even a bit more expensive) than other hostels in Ohakune which are A LOT better.
Overall it was a very bad experience, I will not be going back here ever again.

Cosy Stay
The Alpine Lodge was a clean,comfortable and cosy backpackers-type accommodation just off the main street so within a short walk to all the shops, bus stop and the Carrot Adventure Park.
