Alpine Lodge and Alpine Chalets Review

Accommodations run from full suites ($$) to backpacker dorms (¢). With the wood paneling and dormer windows, the building may feel somewhat European-alpine, but the view out the window is all Kiwi. Although in the center of the village, the lodge is at the national park boundary, a short bushwalk away from Lake Rotoiti. A few two-bedroom apartments are good for families. The lodge has a licensed restaurant and a bar for casual meals. Good meals are also available at the Alpine Lodge Café downstairs next door in the Chalets.
