    Every time we stay in Twizel, like to stay here. Handy location just off town centre and restaurants, delicious Indian restaurant and bars, it's central. Plus, the hotel is located a 10-15 minute walking distance from Kaki Visitor Hide.

    limited reception

    Our studio room had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette. Reception closed too early in the evening, limiting assistance.

    spacious apartment
    effective heating
    bathroom cleanliness
    attention to detail

    The upstairs apartment was spacious, with effective heating and a cozy ambiance, but the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired, highlighting the need for better attention to detail.

    unresponsive staff
    flooded shower

    Unresponsive staff and a shower that flooded everywhere left me exasperated, and i almost gave it a good review! Then, i didn't even get a welcome gift. Absolutely terrible, and don't even get me started on the cleanliness. Such a shame!

    grilled fish
    heated blanket
    spacious room
    hard bed
    expensive rate

    Absolutely loved the grilled fish at Shawtys Cafe-totally fresh and cooked to perfection! The room was spacious, with a heated blanket that was just the ticket for a chilly night. Plus, the staff were super accommodating when we arrived late.

    The beds were quite hard, and honestly, $280 felt a tad steep. Just saying, we've snagged some equally great digs for around $230 lately.

    clean room
    modern decor
    well-equipped kitchenette
    unpleasant towels

    Really good clean room with a modern decor. The heater was on when I arrived. Plenty of natural light filled the room. Kitchenette was well-equipped, and the electric blankets added a nice touch for warmth. There was a slight issue with the towels. They had an unpleasant odor, suggesting they might not have been washed properly. While I enjoyed the close proximity to nearby restaurants, accessing the upstairs apartment could be tricky for those with mobility challenges due to the narrow staircase. Great value for money and a pleasant stay!

    poor soundproofing

    Well equipped kitchenette and friendly staff! The location was perfect for accessing nearby shops and exploring the beautiful landscapes around. Plus, the laundry facilities were a bonus .

    Soundproofing between floors could use improvement. We heard our neighbors quite a bit.

    cozy lodge
    helpful staff
    great location
    occasional wi-fi drop

    So impressed with the lodge!

    We spent two nights here, and wow! Our lodge was super cozy, with a nice separate bedroom and a lounge/kitchen area that had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and gave us great tips on nearby places to eat. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi dropped a few times. Otherwise, a fab stay!

    great location
    spacious kitchen
    hard beds

    The location is fantastic for families, just a short walk to the town center. The kitchen facilities made meal prep for our little one hassle-free, and having a spacious area was a lifesaver with our big family. We all enjoyed our stay!

    My kids wished for better Wi-Fi to keep them entertained during downtime. The beds were quite hard, made for an uncomfortable night.
