Our stay at the resort was a mixed experience. On the plus side, the cabin we had was clean and had everything we needed for a fun family getaway, including plenty of activities like mini golf and a pool. However, the property is in dire need of renovation, and some staff engagement would surely enhance the overall experience. We also found the dining options lacking, particularly at breakfast, which was disappointing given the setting and price.

Our stay at the resort was enjoyable overall, with spacious and quaint cabins that were clean and comfortable. The dining experience at AlpineRose was a highlight, especially given the fantastic value on schnitzel night. However, some cleanliness issues in our villa and the high breakfast pricing were drawbacks that left room for improvement.

The resort is conveniently located near Launceston, making it a great base for exploring the Tamar Valley. However, the grounds seemed a bit neglected and could use some tidying up.

Dining at AlpineRose was enjoyable, with excellent service and great food quality. The schnitzel night was particularly good value at $20 with a beer, though the breakfast price of $30 per person felt a bit steep without lighter options.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, this place fell short of my expectations. The location is beautiful, but the rooms feel outdated and definitely need some attention. While the staff was polite and helpful, the dining options were lacking in quality and variety. Overall, it has potential, but major improvements are necessary to make it enjoyable.
