    Friendly staff who asked us if we want to pay in cash instead of credit card as it will incur transaction charges. Provides tissue, which most motel did not.

    Alpine Motel was centrally located with a short walk in to the main town with the local attractions. It was also close to Countdown the supermarket and a number of eateries within easy walking distance. It has a nice selection of eating utensils and a kettle with tea/coffee. The room was lovely and warm and on a cooler wet winter night, this was a welcome escape.
