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.
Really nice apartment in Twizel. Great location only about a 5 minute walk from the main strip. We spent the day in Mount Cook and were heading down to Te Anau the following day and this was the perfect place to spend 1 night to break up our journey and save some time on the road not backtracking to Lake Tekapo for a second night.
Comfortable bed, quiet and clean. Designated parking spot.
We ate at Fishtail for dinner and Mint + Co for breakfast and would recommend both.
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.
Thank you so much Jordan and Twizel Getaways for the marvelous, awesome and unique stay you offered us during our time in the surroundings of Aoraki/Mt. Cook. Everything was perfect! Pity we booked The Cabin Omahau Downs for such a short time. Next time in South NZ it will definitely be longer :-)
I booked a last minute room to shorten a long drive and I was really surprised about the quality. The rooms are very large and well heated, the bed is extremely comfy and everything is extremely clean and orderly. Looking forward driving through Twizel again and I will definitely stop here.
It was a fantastic stay! The cabin was even better than we imagined! It was a proper, spacious room. The bathroom was good, clean kitchen and all the necessary kitchen stuff. The sound insulation was also good, so the sound of life of the holiday park was always outside the room.
The room was very, very nice , great large bathroom . The location is great for all Twizel has to offer good parking . My advice don't judge it from the outside dose not look like a Motel but wait to see these lovly spacious rooms.
Cheap and cheerful! Wasn’t expecting anything more than what we got and it was perfect for what we needed. Bathrooms and showers were plentiful and clean. Kitchen utensil box is provided free of charge at check in.
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.
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
This was the perfect stay for our one night stay in Twizel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and very convenient for our hike the next morning. I would stay here again!
Strategic location, near Mt. Cook National Park. Great host and complete facilities, especially the washing machine and dryer—a valuable thing for backpackers! :)
Close to mount cook. Located a small town with all the facilities you need. I suggest to book cabin with toilet if you are visiting twizel during cold weather.
