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.

The hotel was placed in the central location near to centre of Twizel. The staff was excellent and the host too. I had comfortable experience and would love to go back;)))

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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
