Great space with comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and bathroom. All the items you need in a small apartment. Cons- Bedside lamp would be a nice for reading and not having the overhead lights on. Traffic noise was loud at times but just in the front room.
Check in and out was quick and easy. Overall, we had a very comfortable two night stay.
Staff were super friendly, the location, the room it was all perfect, the kids loved the hot tub and being close to the pool. We know where we will be staying next time we are in Rotorua :)

The Alpin staff were so friendly and efficient, check in was super simple and allocated parks outside each apartment were great. Overall it was as advertised, but I found a few short hairs stuck to the wall and some rubbish under the bed, and there was a funky smell in the lounge that wasn't sulphur -- I suspect the freezer as it was quite unclean. The lighting is super cold and clinical. The room got nice and warm with a strong radiator which was a plus in the winter and the bed was super big and cozy. The toilet was automatic and fancy but the shower head didn't attach well and kept falling off which was annoying. The tub outside looked super lush in the pics but you had to fill it up yourself which was a bit of a let down. Overall a fine stay.

Room was modern, clean and well set up. Loved the private spa pool – such a treat.

Would happily stay again. Cheers team!

Great property,centrally located, very close to shopping,restaurants and centrally located. She was so kind and let us check in at noon.This helped so much since we drove from out of town. Great value,very comfortable unit. The beds were amazing. Kitchenette was so good to have. Laundry was pleasant surprise.
This accommodation is a hidden gem! It’s incredibly close to the Maori Village, offering a perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. The free access to laundry facilities and BBQ grills was a huge bonus. Although I didn’t have time to try the sauna due to my short itinerary, I’m already looking forward to my next visit. The front desk staff were exceptional—they even fixed a broken button on my shirt! A wonderful stay all around.

A dream stay for mountain biking enthusiasts! The dedicated bike-washing area is super convenient. The in-room smart toilet was an amazing surprise, and having my own private hot tub was the cherry on top. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of riding. To top it off, the bedding was incredibly comfortable. Can’t recommend this place enough!
It was a nice very clean well equipped room.
The staff are very nice and check in was friendly and nice people.
The downside.
The Tv not working at all annoyed us. No signal displayed for for just standard Tv. Couldn’t load an app because the internet was lagging. I’d rather that working than a heated toilet seat.
The rooms were very cold and the panel heaters going were not sufficient to heat the rooms being winter.There is no sun to the kitchen even with a window ,so decent heating in the winter would be appreciated. Spa pool was good we did use that.
