The place is slightly away from the town centre but it is totally fine as we can see the sky right after we step out of the house. The house is also good enough to keep us warm. Teresa has been a very nice host to check us up during our stay.

Twizel is a great base for all the wonderful activities the region has to offer--dark skies, Alps to Ocean, Āoraki, incredible lakes, hot springs, hiking. A lot of very good restaurants with something for all tastes. Two or more grocery stores, with great wine selections and customer service. Great outfitters for biking.

We have been here a few times now and love it. It is the gateway to Mt Cook - we have done a heli hike, some wonderful walks and tramps, taken in the rivers and lakes, soaked in the hot tubs, eaten at local restaurants, shopped in the local stores, star gazed .... the list goes on.
The locals are super friendly - Twizel is just down the road from Tekapo but is nowhere near as busy or commercial. Accessible from Christchurch or Queenstown - you can fly into one, rent a car and fly out from the other, or just do a round trip. We will be back !!

Restaurants and cafes very busy and some were closed. Since it was Easter Sunday and the finish of Warbirds Airshow, we had difficulty finding somewhere to have dinner and certainly no place for breakfast.

Twizel is a small town but growing, with new housing areas on the edge of town and spreading out from there. It is mainly a holiday town but has a core of permanent residents.
It has a nice wee shopping area, good restaurants and is handy to the other lakes in the area and to a ski field in winter. It also gives easy access to Aoraki Mt Cook and the Waitaki Valley.

Cute town.
Cute town. It has what one needs to enjoy the getaway—groceries, pharmacy, gas, some clothing stores. And, most importantly, nice people who—in spite of the numbers of tourists who are in and out of town—are kind and helpful. Thank you, Twizel!

Nice little place with easy access by car to several lakes and the Hooker Valley walk. Nice river walk with views to Mt Cook.
Twizel has few tourists that we saw and has a very different feel to it than Tekapo, which we didn’t like at all.
We didn’t eat out in Twizel, but we did see a few restaurants, we cooked at the house as had great facilities there.
Good supermarkets.
We loved the location, grounds, privacy, view, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, walk-in robe and storage, good quality towels and bedding. The cottage was beautifully presented and sparkling clean. Having a washing machine and dryer is always a bonus when you're on the road. Twizel is an excellent base for Mt Cook National Park and Tekapo. Kea Cottage, being just a couple of minutes from the town centre, was perfect.
Spent a night there earlier this month on a trip to Mount Cook. The Lady at reception was friendly. My room was very clean and comfy. It is a nice holiday park, they have a playground for kids, and overall it is cute and clean and you can see that they put lots of efforts into that place. I would stay there on another trip.
The lake is absolutely beautiful on a cold morning.
This accommodation is perfect for larger groups, offering ample space, every room has its own bathroom.
Very cozy, especially with the fireplace.
The location is a major plus, easily accessible and close to Twizel, but also not a far drive from the awesome landscapes in the area. Our overall experience was great and would definitely book again.
We booked the 1 bedroom cottage and it had EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. It was good value for money, and the space definitely looked better than the photos :) amenities were great and shower was hot and good! Heater and aircon was great. We loved playing with the cat in the holiday park! He/she came into our cottage and made himself comfortable :)
There were inexpensive food trucks only a block away. (The hotel also has a convenient buffet at their on-site restaurant but we weren't that hungry for a large meal). The property is well maintained. There was a small refrigerator in the room (but I think that is pretty standard in NZ).
Rosedale Cottage combines the charm of a small, intimate setting with the comfort of a well-appointed hotel. The lovely host and comfortable accommodations make for a memorable and enjoyable stay. It’s an ideal choice for travelers seeking a cozy retreat with a personal touch.
Room was large, comfortable, clean, and walking distance from town. Driving up to the Motel it looks like a old world motel and was a bit concerning, but the inside and the staff were great. Truly enjoyed my stay.
I have been on a road trip for the past 8 days with 7 different hotel accommodations. Thus far, the "Townhouse Feel in Irishman" has been the only one deserving a "Perfect 10." I highly recommend this accommodation.
Mountains chalets was at a great location, super close to town center. The room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. I'd definitely choose Mountain Chalets again if ever visiting Twizel or Mt. Cook.
Twizel is a small town and this place is located 50 steps away from the town center which is handy. There were no views from this motel but most likely, there wouldn't be any views from any motel in this town.
After living in hotel rooms it was so nice to have a home to rest in with full facilities & privacy with magnificent views.
the home was very tastefully furnished & a delight to stay in.
The location in central Twizel was fantastic. Easy walk to everything you need. Grocery, Bakery, Restaurants etc. The hotel grounds were fantastic. Nice table right outside the room
Pleasant stay for a camping-style accommodation. Shared bathroom facilities were just "ok." It was nice to have a shared kitchen available, but we weren't provided any dishware.
A well appointed Motel, organised, and clean. Near to Twizel township facilities. Bonus having the three private food vendors just across the road for first evening meal.
Room was very quiet and I had a proper sleep. Room is big and comfortable. Personnel is nice.
Note: you still need to have covid pass when visit this hotel.
