The staff were very helpful. Recommendations for where to eat excellent. Was not expecting that we were actually getting what amounted to a one bedroom apartment, this was a bonus, enjoyed the extra privacy. The facilities and the room, were great, location a short walk form the centre of Twizel, but far enough that it was quiet, and Twizel itself a great place for visiting Mount Cook and surrounding lakes
Nothing really, pretty happy all round. We were travelling on a budget, this hotel good value for price.

The proximity to the pub to watch the All Blacks 😁 The friendly helpful owner. Having a coffee cart across the road. Having the golf course across the road , but sadly closed due to foggy & Hoare frosts. Big spacious bathroom with lots of hot water & great pressure.
Not having a room with a bath, will book next time. Abit chilly in the room, needed to keep heater on full all afternoon & night. In fairness it was - 4 outside.

Quality of rooms was amazing. Room was equipped with kitchen which was good and close to town restaurants. The staff was amazing, they allowed to check in earlier.
WSeems the room was recently painted and We could smell new paint. Also the checkout time was 10 am. We find that too early. Some lady came knowing out door since we were still in room 10 pass.

On the outside, the motel looks like it's from the set of an 80s American movie but the room was lovely. I say room, it comprised a well stocked kitchenette (incl fridge), bathroom, living space and separate bedroom. Parking spot outside. Very comfortable, clean and the proprietor at the desk was very helpful and friendly. Gave us a wee bottle of milk too! Excellent location for a short walk to find restaurants, shops etc.

Cleanliness and location was superb. Cleaning staff were very accommodating and very pleasant.
The door stop in the bathroom was in a very odd place, I tripped on it twice. It was a hazard. Stepping out of bath wasn't very safe An additional handle on the wall by the towel rack wouid be helpful.

Amazing!! All new renovation with excellent style and calming vibe. Very clean and well appointed. Friendly helpful staff. Nice laundry facilities. Great bathroom with walk in shower, all roomy. Nice little back porch and small garden in back. Convenient to town services. Quiet. Quaint, lovely, small.
Nothing, all good.

The location is great, walking distance to town centre, and a patrol station just around corner. Big spa in the room is a big bonus, my son enjoyed a spa after had a long walk at Mt cook. Warren is very nice, he gave us a small bottle of milk for coffee when we checked in.
Insulation needs to be improved. Loud noise can be heard specially during the night when neighbour turn tap on.

We were only staying here overnight so were essentially looking for somewhere quiet to sleep before heading off the next day. The room is a separate bedroom and lounge/kitchen area with a good size bathroom. There is also a pull down single bed. Beds were comfortable, although pillow selection was not so great. Kitchen was functional. Shower was great.
The door from the bedroom couldn't close because the bed was in the way, not sure how that can be fixed. It was a little noisy as it was at the front of the complex so traffic noise was evident until about 10pm and started early the next morning. Not that we minded that much as we were heading off early'ish.

They had Sky connection, had good beds, had a microwave, a sit out to the the garden with chairs for you to spend a nice evening. If it is cold outside, they have nice sofa's inside facing the TV. Freindly staff and a heatpump. Really a fantastic place to stay.
To be honest there was nothing not to like there. The hotel was wholesome and fantastic.

Was a beautiful stay but booked the room because i was travelling with my mum, however the single bed was away so we had to sleep together which wasn’t ideal as only booked for the price and because it was advertised as 2 beds :) The spa didn’t work which would have been a treat but other than that it was beautiful, warm, and super clean :)
