Spacious, clean room with a great view. Mary was very accommodating, friendly, helpful and had great information about the area. It was peaceful, quiet and the stargazing was awesome. One of our favorite places we stayed while visiting New Zealand.

Overall this is great value for money, considering the prices charged in the surrounding area and further out at Tekapo.
The house was comfortable and had all the mod-cons you would need for a trip in rural NZ. This includes a hot shower, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. It was also very clean and warm with a heat pump available in the living room area.
Also really appreciative of the owner who warmly greeted us on arrival and told us that due to public works, water would not be available for late next morning. This gave us plenty of options to work around it - thanks!

If we could give a higher rating, we would. One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Super warm and homey with an incredibly tranquil view. Delicious breakfast and an ultra clean room.

The host was accommodating to my last-minute booking and late arrival. The property is immaculate and wonderfully located for visiting Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. My only regret is that I couldn't stay to enjoy it longer or especially on a moonless night for night sky viewing!

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.
Pukaki Air Lodge is in a great location, close to Twizel town centre and Lake Pukaki. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and possibly have the best shower I've used in a hotel/lodge. Staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a full kitchen available for guests to use, alongside coffee/tea in room. Having breakfast included was a great bonus!
With views straight out onto the airstrip and great views of Mt Cook, I feel like it would be hard to find somewhere as beautiful to stay.
Arriving to a beautiful, warm house was fabulous.
All bedrooms are lovely and welcoming and the living space was just perfect - the kitchen had every utensil you could possibly need.
Definitely keen to head back for a summer visit.. the outdoor space is as inviting as the indoor.
Fabulous location for walking to Twizel shops and restaurants.
We loved staying at Rathlin Cottage, and would book the same accommodation for our future trips to Twizel.
The house was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed (the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked). The setting was gorgeous with great outdoor spaces and heaps of parking and room to turn around (which was handy with us having a boat). A little outside Twizel on a nice quiet street and nice and close to the lake.
The property is a modern three bedroom holiday home of a good size with most of the amenities of home. A large fridge and a washing machine were appreciated as was the outside seating area. The location is quiet and seems to mostly be other holiday homes. Not too far from the shops where there were several places to eat.
Second time I’ve stayed at twizel holiday park, the whole thing is super easy! I come to twizel once a month at a minimum from Dunedin and am fishing for 15 hours at least of the day, so it’s nice to have a place as little Hassle as possible! Looking forward to the next trip
Nice warm rooms with a separate bedroom.Clean.Very comfortable warm bed.The French girl on reception (sorry didn't get her name) was super friendly and helpful.She provided a hair-dryer. Good shops right in front of hotel.
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.
Our cabin was spacious and we appreciated the addition of a mini fridge. The laundry facilities were also good. The holiday park is in a very peaceful area with a good view of the stars on a clear night.
Loved the cabin. Very clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed. The city of Twizel lost water due to a broken water main while we were there but we were kept aware of the progress made on the repairs.
Nice, self-contained unit. Had parking, a nice view, and was convenient to the things I was in Twizel to do. Quiet and private. Good little kitchen and well furnished
