    What a lovely long review of your stay with us. We enjoy sneaking away occasionally to the top of the Pass, it gets one of us out of cleaning for a while. Sighting Kea is not always a guarantee as their numbers are declining, so...More

    RUSTIC MOTEL IN ARTHUR'S PASS, NEW ZEALAND

    It was a long crooked drive from Mt. Cook Village to Arthur's Pass. Lots of sheep, cattle, farmland, rain and a little sun. The Arthur's Pass Alpine Motel was an older rustic place but our room had everything we needed including a kitchen and electric...More

    Great stop over
