Alpine Lodge Motel, Heritage motel in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia.
Alpine Lodge Motel occupies three of four original Victorian terrace houses at 244-248 Sloane Street in Goulburn on the Southern Tablelands. The spaces retain features from 19th century residential architecture while functioning as a modern guest house today.
Charles Rogers commissioned four separate terrace houses in 1872, which later merged into a single hospitality building in 1893. This transformation responded to the town's growing need for guest accommodation.
The building shows how residential houses transformed into a hospitality space, reflecting the Temperance movement's influence in late 1800s Australia. This shift remains visible in the facade and layout today.
The motel offers modern rooms with free Wi-Fi and has the largest parking area in central Goulburn. Visitors can easily drive and park without needing to look for alternative spots nearby.
The building received state heritage recognition in 1999, ensuring the preservation of its Victorian architecture. This makes it one of few places where early residential design and historical hospitality structures coexist under one roof.
